Why is Detroit called Motown?
Motown is also known as Motor City.
Detroit is referred to as Motor City because it has been the center of America’s motor vehicle production since Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1903.
![Page 9: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Detroit, before R ‘n’ R
In the 1950s, people from the south were moving to Detroit in hopes of landing a job in the automobile industry.
Many people congregated to the East Side of Detroit, which ended up creating a “rough and tumble” neighborhood.
In this neighborhood, the beat of the blues could be heard in the streets.
Artists like John Lee Hooker were popular.

Los Angeles before RnR
In the 1950s LA was competing with Detroit for the highest number of automobile manufacturers.
Factories were popping up everywhere. People were traveling to LA for jobs in sewing factories, furniture factories, in radio broadcasting stations, and in motion pictures.
Rail car systems were being shut down and replaced with bus systems, which contributed to the massive amount of pollution that LA is famous for having.
![Page 31: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Southern California
had developed a “surf sound.”
![Page 32: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What do you think the “surf sound” sounded like?In music, how might composers and artists convey this
“surf sound?”
![Page 33: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What group of people do you think this sound appealed to most?
White American Teens

Overdubbing
Layering the tracks during the recording process.
Record one track, then play it back and add another track on top of it, etc.
This was a very common way for recording for the Beach Boys and other bands.
![Page 36: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Why do you think this sound didn’t appeal to older
generations, or to black teens as well?
![Page 39: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
California’s folk music sceneIn the 1960s, LA had a growing interest in folk music. People would gather at coffee shops and hootenannies to listen and play folk music.
![Page 40: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What in the world is a hootenanny?
A hootenanny is similar to what we might call an “open mic night” in which anyone could come and perform for 5-10 minutes a piece.
Hootenannies were very popular in the 60s, especially among college students.
![Page 41: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Folk Music
Folk music has been heard for many years in the US and in other countries.
In folk music, the most important part of the music is the story the music tells.
During the 1960s, people wrote folk music about the Vietnam War, the opposition to the government and the Civil Rights Movement.
If you wrote a folk song today, what might you write about?
![Page 42: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Folk Music
Folk music is most often passed down by rote.
Passing things on by rote means that people learn the music by listening to it, not by reading music. “Learn by hearing.”
What songs might you have learned by rote?

climax in the LA music scene

gaining popularity.

San Francisco before RnR
San Francisco attracted many artists, musicians, and social rebels during the late 1960s.
Long before this time, SF had become a “literary bohemia” which attracted many non-conformists.
Bohemia: “a district inhabited by persons, typically artists, writers, and intellectuals, whose way of life, dress, etc., are generally unconventional or avant-garde.”
![Page 63: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Non-conformist
Someone who doesn’t want to adhere to the rules or laws applied to them.
Someone who goes “against the flow.” In LA, many non-conformists were into what
genre of music?
Folk

San Francisco, CA
"There was a community in need of music, and music in need of a community," explained Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart.
San Francisco people were very free thinking, and it made sense that these kind of people could have created a whole new style of music.
![Page 65: The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081417/568164d9550346895dd723bc/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
SF’s contribution to music
Songs were no longer confined to two or three minutes in length. Some songs were 20 minutes long!
SF artists changed the way music was performed and experienced.

Fueling the Movement
Sweeping changes in concert promotion and FM radio fueled the movement.
Underground radio was born here, as local stations KSAN and KMPX embraced the daring new music.
Rock journalism found a literate voice in such San Francisco-based publications as Rolling Stone.

Other psychedelic elements
Not only did musicians use a “psychedelic sound” but they also appealed to listeners visually.
Old ballrooms and halls were converted into spaces that were for live music performances.
Light shows developed, and soon the audience was experiences a whole multimedia performance.

Haight-Ashbury
A neighborhood around Golden Gate Park which had many
Victorian houses which could be rented for a
small amount.
