Alt Rock Shrines | From the Archives
When I say the word "Shrine"...what comes to mind?
Lords? A temple in the Himalaya’s? Something secular...like a war memorial? They could be something makeshift like flowers placed on the side of the road where someone died.
Shrines appear in pop culture too. Any place that has been deemed important because of its history or associations...can be considered a shrine. It's a place people visit so they can see things for themselves.
Now rock n roll has many shrines. The field where Buddy Holly's plane crashed, the site of the first Woodstock in 1969, Elvis' Graceland....doesn't get much bigger than that.
But what about in the modern era of rock? There must be places where people make pilgrimages. Well of course there are....and here are a bunch of them.
