rock is making a big comeback … Bo is coming into the industry at a good time for him.
You’re right. Just flipping through the radio, I’ve noticed that several stations—stations that have been devoted to one type of music for decades, usually Country or Easy Listening—are switching to Classic/Current Rock or 80’s Pop. There’s also been a sudden nostalgia for 80’s rock bands like Motley Crüe, White Snake, Guns N’ Roses, etc. Just last week, Def Leppard performed live on the Today Show before an appreciative audience. I haven’t seen those guys in years—they sounded great!
And as much as I detest the man, I have to admit that Bruce Springsteen’s newest single “Devils & Dust” is one of his best songs. It’s being played ad nauseum on the rock stations, but I never get tired of hearing it.
Even the Rolling Stones, God bless ‘em, are going back on tour!
The public is obviously hungry for Rock again. This combined with his success and exposure on AI might just provide Bo with the “perfect storm” he needs to begin a lasting career.
Now if only Van Halen would get their act together … :-D
Hi, Jonny. The rock sound is even big in country these days.
All those old rockers reminded me of seeing Ozzie Osborne on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight.
I LOVE that show, BTW.
Anyway, Ozzie was sober, steady and very personable. I had no idea he was so charming.
Granted he does have a foul mouth, but he was very funny.
