Anything goes! What had impact? What hybrids?

1. Elvis covers Big Mamma Thornton’s "Hound Dog" and blues and rockabilly collide.
2. Bob Dylan plugs in at the Newport Folk Festival.
3. Monterey Pop (1967).
4. British hard rock bands (Led Zeppelin, the Cream, the Who) revive American blues music.
5. Live Aid (1985). Hundreds of musicians bring worldwide attention to a humanitarian crisis. This has been the model for every major chartiable concert since.
OH-almost forgot–Les Paul and his electric guitar…
