Let me die for Rock 'n Roll

Some people, I’m not going to name names or anything, but some people have had the nerve to say that rock is dead. So, I’m going to make one thing clear: Rock is not dead, granted it did just get off dialysis, but it is getting a new kidney soon and maybe a new, much needed liver if it plays its cards right and forks over enough cash.

Rock isn’t dead. It’s just evolved. Just like any other genre it evolves. The Beatles were an amazing band, and we listen to them today and think, “why can’t there be bands like that today?” Well, I’ll tell you why: Because times change.

While I do agree that rock is taking a dive, there are still good things about it. We have the White Stripes, the Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Green Day, just to name a few. And all the old guys are still kicking around. McCartney’s still given’ ‘er, so are the Stones, and Clapton’s still putting out stuff.

Rock is hardly dead, it’s pretty sick, but Rock is a fighter and will hold on. Saying that Rock is dead is like saying that the comedy genre of film is dead because now they aren’t like what Chaplin made. The way is see it will come back and it will be glorious. We just have to wait it out a little longer.
