actually, rock and roll died mid to late 80's(thats being kind, most say it happend in the 70's with disco). a brief glimmer of a pulse came back with nirvana, but flatlined when record companys signed too many me too bands. no, i'm not one of those old fogeys with a huge collection of 70's music,just someone who's stopped listning altogether, because coporations killed the rock star, not video, as it was just one tool of the coporations.
