SUMMARY:Louder Than Words
DESCRIPTION:This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll: Pop Music\, the Swastika and the Third Reich\n\n\n\nDaniel Rachel’s shocking & absorbing chronological account of pop music’s complicated history with fascism & the imagery surrounding it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLouder Than Words Festival\nSaturday\, November 15 · 8:15 – 9:30pm GMT\nINNSIDE Manchester\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 First Street Manchester M15 4RP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nOver the last seven decades\, some of rock ‘n’ roll’s most celebrated figureheads have flirted with the imagery and theatre of the Third Reich. From Keith Moon and Vivian Stanshall kitting themselves out in Nazi uniforms to Siouxsie Sioux and Sid Vicious brandishing swastikas in the pomp of punk\, generations of performers have associated themselves in troubling ways with the aesthetics\, mass hysteria and even ideology of Nazism. Whether shock factor\, stupidity\, or crass attempt at subversion\, rock ‘n’ roll has indulged these associations in a way not accepted by any other artform. But how accountable should fans\, the media\, and the music industry be for what has often seemed a sleazy fascination with the eroticised perversions of a fascist regime? \nIn This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll\, award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel navigates these turbulent waters with extraordinary delicacy and care\, asking us to look anew at the artists that have defined us\, inspired us and given us joy – and consider why so many have been drawn to the imagery of a movement responsible for the twentieth century’s worst atrocities. Alongside a sensitive history of the Holocaust and an examination of the place it holds in our cultural consciousness\, Rachel asks essential questions of actions often overlooked or underplayed\, whilst neither casting sweeping judgement nor offering easy answers. In doing so\, he asks us to reassess the history of rock ‘n’ roll and sheds new light on the grim echoes of the Third Reich in popular culture and the legacy of twentieth (and twenty-first) century history as it defines us today. \n  \nWe have two ticket options available: * Event Only and *Event with Discounted Book Combo deal – books will be available for collection at the Festival. \nOur event will be followed by a dedicated signing event with Daniel. RRP books will also be available for purchase on the day. \nAbout the Author: \nDaniel Rachel is a former musician turned award-winning and bestselling author.

He lives in London. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTags\n\n\nManchester Events\nThings to do in Manchester\n#rocknroll\n#popmusic\n#thirdreich\n#swastika\n#eventtitle
