About this experience

Thursdays, 10:00 am – 11:30 am     
September 10 – 24 

The King of Rock and Roll. The Queen. The architect. The inventor. The first. Rock history is crowded with crowned titles—but can one person really be the ultimate ruler of all things rock? Despite the many icons who helped shape the music, three names return again and again. Not because they were simply great, but because they changed the rules: the sound, the swagger, the attitude, the blueprint. Their impact ignited a worldwide chain reaction that still echoes through popular music. Taken together, they form a rock ’n’ roll trinity—three kings, three crowns, one revolution. (Note: Course may contain offensive language and material.  It’s rock and roll!)

Week 1: Little Richard
