Interestingly, Lee, today’s songs have VERY few guitar or keyboard or sax solos. Instead, you know what the solo is?

Rap. Typically a female singer will do a song (say, Demi Lovato) and the once-common guitar solo is filled with a rap break.

Drum and bass rap solos are as old as Woodstock.

These kids today are listening to their GRANDPARENTS music and Snoop Doggy Dog Person knows it. He used to sneak grandma’s Rudy Ray Moore and Blowfly albums.

And of course Blowfly who was known as Clarence Reid in the 60s

Of course, if Fakestock wanted to pick up from what went before, they’d have Ginger Baker on drums with Fela Kuti’s son Seun Kuti.

But this lineup wants to be Coachella and bites.
