When Airplane! came out in the theater, that scene caused the movie goers to cheer. In Houston, Texas
Screw Springsteen but Little Steven is doing as much or more than anyone to promote classic and new rock and soul via the Underground Garage and Wicked Cool records. I really like the diversity of music and DJs he has assembled.
I hope Little Steven and his comrade Bruce both die of TDS.
So is Steve gonna play Sun City now?
Sorry Steve, Kiss Alive will live on long after Bruce has been forgotten. Greatest pure rock album ever.
I think, more to the point, that nobody will be skilled at making it. Even the retro tribute bands are only playing other people's music. Who is going to create the next rock band with new songs? I'm not talking about new songs from old bands, I'm talking about new bands with a rock sound.

And with AI able to create music, who is going to invest the 10,000+ hours it takes to master an instrument.
...and during the Scamdemic lockdowns, some guitar stuff was on backorder for months.
NYT Says Taylor Swift Is Bigger Than The Beatles!? - Rick Beato video

SPOILER: Taylor Swift is a fraud and depends on many others to write her songs
Ten years from now, nobody will remember who Taylor Swift is.
This morning, I was speaking with two high school freshmen. The school year is winding down and she has been carrying her guitar around everywhere.
I mentioned to her that Jimi Hendrix always had his guitar with him, and she didn’t know who he was. I showed her a video of Purple Haze and his Woodstock performance of The Star Spangled Banner. It seemed to have made an impression.
Steven Van Zandt also campaigned to create the new South Africa.
So there’s that.
All the good rock music has already been made.
I was thinking more or less the same thing.
I think "Rock" said pretty much everything there was to say.
I can imagine a band making new Rock around themes protesting our cultural and political problems.
The lyrics would have to be very abstract and oblique, or else it would get shut down.
There are so many "elephants in the room" to make protest music about.
Rock & Roll is alive and well ...

AI is the enemy. Soon, nothing will be real and sadly, nobody will know the difference. We are moving rapidly towards 1984.

Actually at least there are some funny, albeit raunchy AI Tunes.
This one I find very catchy

All my digitally recorded rock rock and roll country blues bluegrass big band does not contain more than a handful of songs recorded past 1979.
Musically I live in the past and that’s the way I liked it.
Sure, it was the music of youth rebellion, and no generation wants its parents’ music, so rebellious youth are going to make other music (if they make music).
It was also the music of a certain time in American history that’s now far in the past. That period is also in the past for Europeans. But for Asians it’s still not quite gone, so K-Pop picks up some of the spirit of 20th century pop.
