Author: Stephanie Lynne Thorburn.

Music, Creativity & Humanitarian Healing...

On the advent of Clapton's inspiring biopic, "Life in 12 Bars", author Stephanie Lynne Thorburn

has constructed a blog dedicated to the narrative & iconography of classic rock 'n' roll oratory. Through these pages, Clapton's music is celebrated in context of the wider cross-cultural story of rock 'n' roll!

Theme: Music & humanitarian healing. S. Thorburn.

"Inspired by the forthcoming release of E.C.'s seminal biopic, I have been subtly reminded of a hidden treasure, imbued deeply within the forgotten archive of my own authored works. Prior

to my training in holistic health and spiritual healing, my life was dedicated to the

'journeyman's grail'; I was classic rock & blues journalist. The fruits of some fifteen years in music writing have been encapsulated

for posterity within the pages of my bohemian music biography, celebrating most gifted rock n' roll orators.

'Immortal Generation'- In Hearts & Minds!

Essentially we have now lost so many archetypal rock and blues greats to illness & the causal 'karma' of the rock lifestyle, 'Rock Orators' therefore acts as a living biography of rock & an epitaph... The galvanizing music captured by the roots artists evoked in these pages will remain in the heart & minds of the collective conscious psyche forever! Both the cultural epoch of the 1960's and the charisma of the music are truly sacrosanct.

The Rock Orators.

Resume:

Notions of power, candor & liberty are expressed within the musical currency of potent rock oratory. This new classic rock biography explores the essential craft, charisma and intimate narratives imbued in the recording history of some of rock’s finest ‘Rock Orators’.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A biographical homage eclipsing rock deity with an iconoclastic

'contraband' infusion of proletarian talent.

‘Rock Orators’ is intended as homage to a selection of the most artistically & culturally significant rock names, whilst nurturing inclusion of undersold talent.

“This immersive text explores a gap in the market construed through an intersubjective lens that celebrates a diverse selection of the music industry’s most established legends.

Utilising the relative autonomy of the freelance critic’s role, the author exercises her prerogative to uncover an organic living community of musical protagonists. The personas of rock’s iconoclastic ‘contraband’ currency of proletarian talent have clearly melted her heart!

The author shares her insights into the history and culture of rock oratory as a medium of communication. The text presents a deeply personal journey encompassing both delightful prose & pictorial content. The compendium is articulated in a form that resonates with a live journal or interpersonal documentary on archetypal rock....”

Introduction.

Iconic images. The electrification of Chicago blues, as Lennon and McCartney perform Sergeant Pepper’s on acetate. Contemporary mythical tales describe the token economies of Dartford railway station, as the Stones meet over a Howlin’ and Muddy afternoon consummated in an exchange of Chess vinyl. The texts of authors such as Harry Shapiro and connoisseur Chris Welch capture these defining moments in the history of the British musical revolution, from Alexis Korner and the iconography of the Hendrix experience, to the novelties of fresh Cream.

In the Shapiro classic ‘Waiting For The Man’ (1), his story of drugs and popular music casts our most loved personalities into their respective roles; heroes and archetypes, heroes and heroin, emphasising that too often creativity and genius merge into a backdrop of cultural folk legends and demoniacs. A harsh and valid perspective, yet the origins of the 1960’s cultural movement find their solace in Stephanie Lynne Thorburn’s galvanising ‘Rock Orators’. The text offers a unique perceptive on the music industry, conceived through the inclusion of well honed content representing both classic and proletarian working musicians. The appeal of the narrative is in the persuasive message conjured, that of the ability of the artist to lose themselves within the sanctum of music itself.

The book represents an entirely subjective selection and is immersive. I have allowed the reader into my world to share my penchants for musical genius and the musical idiosyncrasies of some fine talents. The collection synthesises a wide compendium of content on what I consider to be some of rock’s most starkly gifted orators.

‘Rock Orators’ celebrates consistently the musical catalogue of Clapton, beat poet Pete Brown and Cream. Through Clapton, the potential depth, sincerity and cross- cultural unity of rock as a medium is expressed. Inclusions: Evaluation of Clapton's 'Cream of' catalogue, review of private Bunbury charity gigs @ Grosvenor, EC & BB King. Other artists hailed in this homage to rock are-

Bill Wyman, Peter French & Gary Moore.

**Etta James' life story is celebrated through the author's industrious etude: "Ode to Etta", with lovely, informed reflections from guitarist Brian Ray & Bill Wyman.
