50 YEARS OF THE ROLLING STONES – WHAT ROCKS TODAY?
DIALOG

When Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones and Ian Stewart performed for the first time in the Marquee Club in London on 12 July 1962, nobody could have imagined that this would mark the beginning of currently more than fifty years of rock history. The rapid rise of the “bad boys” began: a counterculture rebelling against the conformity and insufferable boredom of the early 1960s. How can the social-cultural phenomenon of the Rolling Stones be explained and what rocks today?
