Rules were made to be broken. And in mid-1960s America, they were being shattered at a breathtaking pace. Long-held beliefs and established institutions found themselves challenged by the increasingly vocal forces of independence and change. The air was rife with the sights and scents of revolution. and a soundtrack was provided by musicians staging a revolution of their own. Propelled by Bob Dylan and the Beatles, rock music was quickly morphing from teen curiosity into serious art form. Musical boundaries were toppled, exciting new genres were created, lyrics grew deeper and more meaningful. The old record-making formulas were jettisoned in favor of bold experimentation and a keen sense of artistic integrity. In Something in the Air, author Craig Swanson chronicles the many remarkable events and developments that forever reshaped rock music during the transformative years of 1965 and 1966. Dylan and the Beatles were the driving force, but they got more than a little help from their friends, including the Beach Boys, the Byrds, and many others, some of whose names might surprise you.
