SUMMARY:British Library with Jon Savage & Pauline Black
DESCRIPTION:Pop music\, the Swastika and the Third Reich\n \n\n\n\nDaniel Rachel and Jon Savage with Pauline Black. \nThursday 29 January 2026 19.00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome 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\, 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. \nIn his new book This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll award-winning music historian Daniel Rachel considers why so many have been drawn to the imagery of a movement responsible for the twentieth century’s worst atrocities. \nFor this vital conversation\, hosted by Pauline Black (The Selecter)\, he is joined by acclaimed cultural commentator and journalist Jon Savage\, author of the classic England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock and This Searing Light\, the Sun and Everything Else: Joy Division\, the Oral History. \nFollowed by a book signing. \n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Rachel\n\nDaniel Rachel is a former musician-turned-award-winning and bestselling author. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJon Savage\n\nJon Savage is the author of numerous books on popular culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPauline Black\n\nPerformer\, singer\, actress\, author\, bandleader and songwriter who in 1979 co founded\, and\, alongside Gaps Hendrickson\, fronted seminal 2-Tone band The Selecter. \n\n\nCredit: Dean Chalkley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 29 January\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nBook now\n\nPigott Theatre\, British Library\, London\n19.00 – 20.30\nPrice £12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCover image from This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll: Pop Music\, the Swastika and the Third Reich Credit: White Rabbit Books
