PROBABLY MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF ELVIS: Yeah, Elvis recording for the first time was quite important in the development of rock, but without the transistor radio - which turned fifty yesterday - there would have been no rock and roll. At all. And, in fact, by stimulating the development of other consumer uses for the transistor, which lead to the microchip, there wouldn't be any downloading or iPods or anything much today, either.
Sigh. We loved our little Boots TR75. Made us the slightly odd man we are today.

Good call, Robin. It would actually be interesting for someone to draw up a history of rock which left out the music and just concentrated on the structure...
