Your attempt to bring a reasoned discourse into this discussion is much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I had an email exchange with Leonard Garment regarding jazz and he ended up agreeing with me on this one.<BR/><BR/>I made the point that for an art form to move ahead -- which rock is -- it has to challenge convention. That's why you have Neil Young continuing to be creative, and corporate shills like the Rolling Stones (once my favorite) and even Bob Dylan being frozen in the era of their greatest hits.<BR/><BR/>Granted, there is a facet of art where it is pleasant, nostalgic and an escape from what can a times be the ugliness of life. But if it is only that we get stuck at Thomas Kincaid."<BR/><BR/>That said, I just want to add, it's still jsut rock'n'roll to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
