​The Midnight Deathtrap

“[Rock and roll music is] the most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear …. This rancid smelling aphrodisiac … fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people … It is sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons. [It is] sly, lewd—in plain fact dirty … the martial music of every side-burned delinquent on the face of the earth.”   —Frank Sinatra
