In the early 1960s, the collision of two powerful forces permanently changed the landscape of rock and roll. The impact of the Beatles and Bob Dylan splintered the music in a thousand directions, smashing its boundaries, and leaving in its wake new ideas about the sound of rock and roll and the expressive power of its lyrics. Out of this confluence flowed folk rock and a new generation of artists who placed greater emphasis on introspection and self-expression. The combined effect of these two forces and the folk rock explosion that ensued is the subject of So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star, the third installment of BBC's 10-part Dancing in the Street.
