Rock is dead, I say

Keets:

Yeah, but Keith Moon. Think about it.

>What?  You're saying rock SHOULD be exclusively for young men?

No, sorry, I was replying to "What do you think about Hip Hop" and I was
saying "I hope it's a young man's game," because then as they get older
they'll abandon it and it will finally go away. My miscommunication.

Not just the younger set; The Smashing Pumpkins (who are breaking up after
this tour) is the last band that excited me, and the last two albums pretty
much killed that. Rock music should have been over at least 20 years ago.
Rock is dead indeed. It's just not buried yet.

Kevin:

I hardly think so. Everything that can be done with it has at this point,

Brian:

I don't recall where I got that tidbit, but I've seen it in places for
years. I'll try to find it.

Scott:

If so, it's been totally ignored as a BBC session all these years.
