Summary
Vladimir Đurić Đura: Rock pantheon - Gods of musical Olympus, from Elvis to Madonna
Rock music with Elvis becomes a global style, a way of life and thinking, a constructive force with the hypnotic power of a new, powerful religion. Rockers like Rollingstons, Beatles, Dors create myths and magnificent cults around themselves, musicians are Dionysian phenomena that constantly fight with Apollo's forces of order and harmony, like shamans at ritual ceremonies. Young, free and wild, at the gate of the divine world, in idolatrous ecstasy, they burn with the desire for a meeting with a distant heavenly being, for an embrace with a great collective consciousness, which rock music as a mediator enables them, until the moment when it crosses all permissible limits, entering the pantheon of dark gods and the realm of necessity.
