Dialogue- The Dark Side of Rock 'n' Roll

Since it found its way to our radios in the 1950's, rock 'n' roll has always been tightly aligned with the culture of rebellion. As such, it also has a fraternal relationship with mystery, conspiracy, tragedy and throughout the years, rock-n-roll artists and their fans have developed their own brand of dark folklore. From Little Richard and Buddy Holly to Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson, the history of rock-n-roll is riddled with stories, myths, legends and strange coincidences. But how much of it is real? How much of it is the product of active imaginations? And how much is just show biz? On this episode of Dialogue, host Matt Shafer Powell speaks with East Tennessee writer Gary Patterson, author of the book "Take a Walk on the Dark Side-- Rock 'n' Roll myths, legends and curses."
