Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Many early rock and R&B artists worked through segregated touring, bad contracts, and radio barriers while their music was being sold nationwide.
2. Media Narrative: The Cruisin’ series recreated 1950s radio with DJ chatter, ads, and pacing, treating oldies as a time capsule instead of a plain compilation.
3. Scene Ecology: 1957 shows rock & roll becoming youth infrastructure: cars, drive-ins, jukeboxes, regional DJs, and teenage buying power all feeding the same machine.
