The Manifesto
The Checklist

---

The Manifesto:
Each week, RockSex will post essays with music players of every music genre, to rattle brains and shake asses.

Conventional views of Rock history are limited and divisive. The mature view is holistic and inclusive.

Here are the basic new rules.


Little Richard, Alis Lesley, Eddie Cochran
- This history playlist party includes everyone with no divisions, no exclusion, no borders, and no limits.
Booker T and The MGs
- Any Either/Or gets shown the door...
there's only And/Also, compadre.
Prince and The Revolution
- It's nope again to outmoded separatists, absolutists, or frozen traditions.
Tribe 8
- Because culture is not static or owned... it is fluid and honed.
True creativity is hybrid, and everyone brings something new to it, continuously.


There's an entire world of great unheralded music to explore.

Tune in each week to RockSex to read and hear the true history of Rock'n'Soul!
