Just stuck in a rock ’n’ roll dream.
Fun fact: The word “Rock” is derived from old English and means to “pull, tear, move”. The word “Roll” is Latin and means “small wheel”. In the 17th century sailors used the term “rocking and rolling” to describe the motion of the ship on the seas. By the 1920’s all the cool kids started referring to dancing and s*x as “Rocking and rolling”.
Then, Alan Freed, a DJ in Cleveland, Ohio used the phrase, “The Rock and Roll Session” to describe the mixture of rhythm and blues and country music he played during his show. As his radio show gained popularity, so too did the phrase. And why is the “and” sometimes written as ‘n? That’s called an apocopation – the omission of the final sound of a word. Pretty neat, huh?
Does anyone else know any other stories of how the name came to be?
