Rock 'n' Roll Plays Itself
Description

In this riveting cultural history, John Scanlan explores rock's relationship with the moving image over seven decades of cinema, television, music videos, advertising and YouTube. Along the way he shows how rock was exploited, how it inspired film pioneers and, not least, the transformations it caused over more than half a century.
From Elvis Presley to David Bowie, and from Scorpio Rising to the films of Scorsese and DIY documentarists like Don Letts, this is a unique retelling of the story of rock 'n' roll - from birth to old age - through its onscreen life.
