Because they came out of a Northern industrialized city? It's a little
creepy to think something that subtle can be read out of music, but somehow
The Who don't quite have a feel for the
pick-up-truck-with-a-pit-bull-in-the-back Southern red-neck's concerns.
Country music did swing toward rock in, uh, maybe the eighties? So there
was something like a twenty year lag in picking it up, and that branch of
the movement has never reached the complexity of "pure" rock. Mark's
complaint about churches and children de-radicalizing rock applies in that
case as well.
