Rock is dead at 77 (Part 1) Bob Dylan and

Crosby, Stills and Nash Grammy in 1977

This moment is rather curious. Crosby, Stills and Nash, three players against the symbolic culture of the late sixties, have the best album of the year Grammy in 1977.

few years ago, CSN had the finesse to create "protest songs" to the poetic lyrics but sophisticated accessible melodies and catchy. They built their composition four major genres: folk, rock, country and pop. The skillful weaving their voices to different tessitura became their brand image. They succeeded commercially where Dylan has failed. We see here in Tuxedo chapters before doing the showbiz disciplined as children. What happened between Woodstock (69) and this time 77? Their careers are in decline, they live on their image and evoke humor who has not given up, Neil Young.

Equally interesting are the nominated albums:
- Aja Steely Dan of comes after reaching the musical form that Fagen and Becker are at 10 years: a sophisticated groove rock seen by a monocle ... jazzy Intelligence not hurting anyone.
- JT of James Taylor caressing the last of the U.S. charts with the hit opportunistic "Your Smiling Face" last throw of the kidneys before dark.
- Hotel California Eagles of the big box of the year, what would have become CSN, variety dylanienne that flatters the American way of life.
- Rumors of Fleetwood Mac, album iconic music Californian also huge cardboard, produced by an English blues band that has crossed the Rubicon.
And music from the movie Star Wars - it was also true that year!

To touch briefly the context of this period, both sides of the Atlantic are buffeted by the wave punk past two years (Clash, Sex Pistols, Damned, Jam ... on English Television, Richard Hell, the Heartbreakers, Ramones, Talking Heads, Mink Deville ... U.S. side), epiphenomenon in financial terms, earthquake ideological Rick Wakeman says that after punk, it became impossible to continue what had been done before. End of term for many groups: Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull ... orientation or popular variety Santana, Chicago ... But here, we do not care. The protection seems thick.

Everyone knows there is a time when the musical art ceases to be a tool of protest, a subversive appeal, decrypting a look, a light to the soul. The music becomes a commodity calibrated reflected more concern about the perception of the broadcast. It calls it Pop.

There was rock history in this passage where those who embodied the subversion allowed themselves heavily seduced by the songs of the facility, the fabricated variety rock and destroyed hope. 77 is the final course, the point of no return, it is also the name of the first album the Talking Heads.
