血液流盡Presley wasn‘t really a great musical force. It‘s just that Elvis managed to embody the frustrated teenage spirit of the 1950s.‖
毫无疑问，普雷斯利震惊了美国的成人世界。
Of course Presley horrified adult America.
报纸写社论攻击他，电视网也禁止播他，但也许埃尔维斯证实了霍洛威茨和伦德格伦的看法。 Newspapers editorialized against him, and TV networks banned him. But Elvis may have proved what Horowitz and Rundgren believe.
当他通过电视上埃德?沙利文的星期日晚间的综艺节目出现在千百万人面前时，就引起了某种辩论。
When he appeared on the Ed.Sullivan Sunday night variety show in front of millions, a kind of ―debate‖ took place.

He spoke of change and of the bewilderment of an older generation. ―Something‘s happening here,‖ he sang. ―You don‘t know what it is, do you, Mr.Jones?‖
其他人也加入了这场辩论。
Others entered the debate.
霍洛威茨说，甲壳虫乐队以幽默的方式，或许还借助麻醉品的力量来倡导和平与虔诚。傲慢无理、打架斗殴的滚石乐队成员要求革命。杰斐逊飞机乐队的歌曲―我们能够联合‖和―志愿者‖（有一场革命）则是激进青年的更进一步的两项声明。
The Beatles, Horowitz said, urged peace and piety, with humor and maybe a little help from drugs. The Rolling Stones, arrogant street-fighting men, demanded revolution. The Jefferson Airplane‘s ―We Can Be Together‖ and Volunteers (Got a Revolution)‖ were two further statements of radical youth.
但政治并不是60年代强硬派摇滚乐所辩论的惟一主题，始终作为任何音乐永恒组成部分的情感也是一个重要题目。

Then came The Band, mixing the more traditional ideas of country and western music into the more radical ‖city‖ ideas of the hard rock.
