"I'm not romantic about that many things in the world, but I am very romantic about British front man - guitar player duos. Mick Jagger and Keith, Morrissey and Marr, Noel and Liam, Bernard Butler and Brett Anderson... And it is one of the most reliably fascinating dynamics.

"Rock of Ages: The Rolling Stone History of Rock and Roll", Ed Ward, Ken Tucker, Geoffrey Stokes.

This book written in 1986 is closer to the beginnings of rock and roll than to the present day 🤕🤕🤕

Also wtf happened that year that made everybody want to look back and take stock of its entire history. Or maybe it was all a Rolling Stone push?
