The parent-scaring, epiphanic explosion that was early rock 'n' roll carried with it so much information - hectic media coverage, promotion and self-promotion, public scandal and tragedy, ever-changing teen fashion diktats - that nearly everybody in the industrialised world probably knows more about fifties rock than they think they do.Find out what you know with this entertaining, casually well-written Q&A deck. Each of its 48 cards has a question (true/false, multiple choice, or interrogatory) on the front; the concise answer appears on the back. Some are relatively easy, with the answer more likely to be hesitating at the tip of your tongue than actually unknown. Others will challenge those who are minimally attuned to the decade's music and its milieu. This deck can lead to raucous multiplayer fun, but it's also a satisfying, meticulously researched read that will send a lot of great music drifting through the reader's head.
These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards by Don Root are a great source of condensed information, all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards (3 1/4 x 4 inches).
