You are going to have a hard time convincing me that this would ever be sneered at. Or this. Or this. There is a lot of good rock music out there it just doesn't get the airplay or respect it deserves.

I got to see the White Stripes play a tiny, run-down dive bar in Denver right before they really exploded on the national scene. I don't think there was 50 people in attendance. I'd never heard of them and when I saw a young man and woman get up from their barstools where they had been drinking beer and smoking cigarettes and take to the stage, I thought, "did the bass player call in sick or something?"

I was then completely blown away! They were just thunderous!

Saw Queens of the Stone Age play the same bar before they got big. I sure do miss that little bar.
