Back to the Future, It is Heavily Implied in Canon That Marty McFly Invented Rock ‘n Roll Music
When Marty McFly played guitar for the Enchantment Under the Sea band, I was sitting on the floor of my grandmother’s little two-bedroom house on Montlieu Avenue in High Point, North Carolina. My grandmother and I were watching
Back to the Future in various states of attention. Mine was rapt because it was my favorite movie; she was reading the paper or a magazine or something and looked up from her words when she heard the opening chords of “Johnny B. Goode.”
