Historia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Robyn Rowan Hitchcock (born 3 March 1953) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano and bass guitar. Coming to prominence in the late 1970s with The Soft Boys, Hitchcock afterward launched a prolific solo career. Hitchcock's musical and lyrical styles have been influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Syd Barrett. Hitchcock's lyrics tend to include surrealism, comedic elements, characterisations of English eccentrics, and melancholy depictions of everyday life. He was signed to two major American labels (A&M Records, then Warner Brothers) over the course of the 1980s and '90s, but mainstream success has been limited. Still, he has maintained a loyal cult following and has often earned strong critical reviews over a steady stream of album releases and live performances.

Forever Young: How Rock 'n' Roll Grew Up
Despite the mantra of 'live fast, die young', Britain's first rock 'n' roll generations are now enjoying old age. What was once about youth and taking risks is now about longevity, survival, nostalgia and refusing to grow up, give up or shut up. But what happens when the music refuses to die and its performers refuse to leave the stage? What happens when rock's youthful rebelliousness is delivered wrapped in wrinkles?

En sus conferencias, el comandante norteamericano Bennett Marco habla constantemente de la emboscada que sufrió su pelotón en el desierto kuwaití y del heroísmo del sargento Raymond Shaw, que recibió la Medalla de Honor por salvar a sus compañeros. Sin embargo, una serie de pesadillas recurrentes le hacen dudar del heroísmo del sargento. Cuando Shaw, empujado por su madre, la polémica senadora Eleanor Prentiss, se presenta como candidato a la vicepresidencia de los EE.UU., las sospechas de Marco se acrecientan y, a pesar de todos los obstáculos que se le presentan, se lanza a investigar los hechos para encontrar la verdad antes de que Shaw y su equipo lleguen a la Casa Blanca.
