Every generation has a youth rebellion. In the 1950s, the rockers of that era (the original punks) shocked older Americans with all those possessed violent hip gyrations. "Why in my day music wasn't about sexuality!"
Yeah, right. Like the Jazz age was innocent. Whenever I see big band orchestras I see a form of rebellion in its own right. To what, I'm not sure. Ragtime? Classical music? Vaudeville?
Cab Calloway seemed pretty "possessed" to me.
