September 11, 1956 – Police were called to break up a crowd of rowdy teenagers following the showing of the film “Rock Around the Clock” at the Trocadero Cinema in London, England. The following day, The Times printed a reader’s letter that said: “The hypnotic rhythm and the wild gestures have a maddening effect on a rhythm loving age group and the result of its impact is the relaxing of all self control.” The film was quickly banned in several English cities. #ROCkabillyHop @billhaleymusic #BillHaley #RockAroundTheClock #RocHop #OTD
