...give this record a listen. It may be true that Franklin shares a few stripes with Tina Turner--both apparently are tough-minded, independent women who have taken their knocks. But musically they are miles apart. Where Franklin cruises the gospel-inflected domain of church R&B, Turner remains raunch'n roll's preeminent gasp-and-grinder. One sells her soul, the other...
...while the Charlie Daniels Band held down the conservative wing with banner-waving ditties like In America, which offered the observation that Lady Liberty "may have stumbled, but she ain't never fell." Lou Reed pointed up the irony of rock, freshly politicized, being attacked for excessive raunch, by recalling "those people who are trying to censor records" before launching in- to his classic Walk on the Wild Side.

She could be a boy with her short hair. But when she's in a bathing suit in front...
...movies more than a decade to catch up with the dramatic potential of rock 'n' roll. Two films were instrumental in breaking the barrier: Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider (1969), with its hippie rock, and Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973), in which the urban raunch of the Rolling Stones and the Ronettes was used the same way Luchino Visconti used opera...
