Alan Freed (deejay) and Leo Mintz (record store owner) invented the term and popularized the music in Cleveland in 1951. The first rock and roll show at the Cleveland Arena was in 1952 and caused a riot because more people showed up than the hall could hold. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Slash, Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles, Warren Zevon -- all Jewish. The guy who invented the moog synthesizer and electronic music - Robert Moog - Jewish. Checkout www.jewsrock.net and you'll that rock and roll and Judaism are about to get right in your face! A book is coming out, an exhibition being prepared, and an educational DVD is in the works -- all celebrating Jewish musicians, record producers, songwriters, promoters, and innovators in rock and roll.
