Borchard’s approach at the opening of the Hard Rock was a participant observation approach. Borchard wanted to get into the Hard Rock Café the opening night is Las Vegas because he wanted to part of the concert, and the “once-in-a-lifetime experience” like everyone else in line. The line expanded around the 75ft spectacle of the Gibson guitar. Like everyone else, Borchard wanted to be a part of the grand opening to the most iconic and well known Rock and Roll hot spot now known.

He found out that night that the way you looked acted and seemed to be in society gave you either extreme advantages, or extreme disadvantages.

The premise of this work is that rock 'n' roll matters, and that it means what it says. It seems that rock 'n' roll music has seldom been given its due as an art form, that it is somehow relegated to a category of less "mature" or "serious" artistic pursuits by the media and the intellectual community.

The idea of rock is thought of as a being legitimate, serious and superior in comparison to ‘pop’ music. Rock as a genre has been defined by its process of exclusion, resistance against mass-distributed music (Keightley, 2001). Consumers identify rock as a subculture, marginalised minorities, that it arises outside the mainstream. They embrace obscurity and accept exclusivity as inevitable outcome of the majority’s lack of ‘taste’ (Hibbett, 2005). Paradoxically, rock from its early stage has been mass mediated and industrially organised. It was at the centre of mainstream popular music because the massive youth demographic of the 1960s enabled rock to be, “commercially made mass music” (Frith, 1981, p.54). Nevertheless, the music industry exploit and satisfies the consumer’s desire for social differentiation (Hibbett, 2005).…
