“One great attribute of music is how it affects our memory. We all have songs that evoke different moments in time,” states Shelton. “What better way of looking at our history than through the lens of music and the art that surrounds it.” Unique visual snapshots of different moments in recent history: through their images and design, the teen explosion of the 1940's and 1950's, the sexual revolution of the 1960's and 1970's, and the rebellious Punk Rock movement are all vividly recalled. more culture>>>
