Crooning Buffoons

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'Everybody's giving their history of rock 'n' roll these days....'

A tale of musical and stylistic nastiness in Betty Windsor's woodshed, from the days of the bubble car, up the mini-skirt, through Sgt Pepper, round the kaftan and into Johnny Rotten's toilette.

Clutching his copy of the 1944 Education Act, Ray Gosling reviews a seedy parade from Teds to post-punk - and back again.
