Event Description "Rock 'n Revolution" presents over 65 photographs of six rock musicians (Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, John Lennon and Joni Mitchell) whose music changed the world. It examines their respective images from early in their careers, and outside of the concert arena, as they began to inhabit the words from their music in the ways in which they presented themselves to the mass media. The exhibition concentrates on the tenuous but powerful combination of image with music whereby fans identified with them. Within these images are notions of "triumphant individualism," authenticity, and anti-Establishment life styles thattranscended ideas of class, gender, ethnicity, and work. Manuscripts from their most famous songs will also be on display.
