    Description

    According to a well-known phrase, sex is one of the three primary ingredients in rock lyrics and the entire rock 'n' roll life style (the two other ingredients are drugs and rock 'n' roll itself). This lecture explores the lyrical universe of hard rock and communicative strategies of reference to sex, focusing on implicitness and explicitness.
