The Bible
Rock & Roll is like a religion. Imagine walking into the Church of Rock & Roll with your troubles, questions, or as a Seeker. You could look to the Church's guiding historical document-The Church of Rock & Roll Bible-finding the perfect verses to help inspire you on your restless plight or guide you on your path to enlightenment.
The Books
The Books represent the ten major eras of Rock & Roll-from Rockabilly to Alternative. Though the distinction of these ten eras of could be debated-they were most likely the eras of which all other styles of Rock have been influenced by and have branched out from.
The Verses
The Verses contain a detailed history of each era's most influential artists. Focusing on their roots and inspirations-when there came a sign that they would someday become legend-when they made their mark in Rock history-their most beloved and recognizable lyrics- and lastly, their legacy and influence on Rock & Roll.
The Fallen
The Book of the Fallen is a collection of artists who perished during the very Era that they made their mark in. A final historical note about some of Rock's greatest and most obscure artists; how their deaths affected Rock forever and, in some cases, marked the end of an Era. It's a reverent collection of those who we remember as giving their all for Rock & Roll.
Dedication
"I dedicate this record of Rock & Roll history to my late older brother, David, who bought me my first album, Elton John's Honky Château, and took me to my first concert, The J. Geils Band at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco." -Mark Erwin Oliver
