About
Singer Kevin Fennell will present this paper as part of a dramatic presentation of Aesthetic Realism. He says, "The 1958 song 'Lonely Teardrops' by Jackie Wilson does what Eli Siegel described as the essence of rock 'n' roll: it puts together agony and assertion, private feeling and public outburst, in a beautiful way. From the very beginning right through to the end, this song is pained and triumphant at once."
