Classical Rock

["L. Bird" <pkeets@hotmail.com>]

One comment about this: it's the collision of differences that launches 
creativity.  If you don't have anything new for stimulus, then you 
stagnate.  Recall it was the discovery of American "native rhythms" that 
led to the creative explosion in Britain in the 60's, which gave us The 
Who (and the Beatles, and the Stones, and etc, etc.)  Creativity these 
days still lies on the fringes, new takes on music by immigrants, and 
new mixtures of old styles e.g. classical and 60's rock.
