A BRIEF HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL

by Ashton Read

In the beginning

God created Leabelly and the Man.

The Man was full of greed and sought to keep Leadbelly down.

This begat the blues,

which begat Muddy Waters, the Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, and Nirvana.

The Man saw this and was displeased.

So the Man made drugs to suppress and kill those that would rejoice in the face of unfair economic disparity.

For the most part, this has worked.
