[Happy Rain]

If your opinion is a consensus then Rock is indeed dead...is there no young person today willing to collect the collections of analog rock, take from the recordings the inspirations and present their own interpretations sans the digital cheating and sterile computerized reproductions of mechanical musical talent...? Joe Walsh is an old fart trying to save analog rock and I would endorse buying his new recordings... ...but it is too little too late and a thousand years from now when cool dudes want to get mellow with a doobie and a song their play-lists will resemble any pothead’s from 1968 to 1972.

It's close....I'd call it semi-dormant. I think it does that from time to time and then some band comes around that puts it back on the map.

Of course it's all subjective. Rock to me probably differs with rock to you.

I remember considering rock "dormant" and then Guns-N-Roses came out with Appetite for Destruction and, to me, there was a resurgance.

Then the hair and glam went over the top and rock sort of stalled out again. Then Nirvana released "Nevermind" and popularized a relatively new genre.

I'm probably just getting old and not rolling with the changes as much as I used to. I'm having difficulty thinking of the last band that I thought really blasted rock back onto the map.

Maybe a band like Muse or a few others like it will make their mark and become timeless.

Of course rock is dead. The thing about zombies, of course, is that they don’t know they’re dead. They just keep jaggering around the stage.
