THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

(except I'm not even really pissed off, I've been lolling through most of the thread, but you guys hopefully get my point)

*wagemann stands up from his chair and karate chops then scissor kicks the air to his back...

2. We have to be strong and ignore every post of his and resist posting funny pictures, etc. Myself included.

3. We must be strong.

4. It will be tough.

5. Either that or hunt him down in his parents basement and feed him Cheeze Its until he pops like a fat stupid balloon.

This is an insightful comment, the type I was hoping to get more of within this thread. I think Rock was on life support in the mid 80s. In the early 80s, hardcore had kicked some life into it, but hardcore became pretty shitty pretty quickly. There were remnants of it left over in the emerging underground Indie scene of the mid 80s. But its my opinion that this underground Indie is really what saved Rock. Rap/hip hop was just the latest incarnation of mainstream Pop that had been happening since al jolsen sang mammy. The impact that Rap had on Rock that I find important is its experimentation in production and found sound, etc that has been subtley adapted by modern day rock makers...

TS: useless generalizations vs. idiotic conclusions

IT'S A TIE!

Oh man I just realized, you ARE right, Pop Will Eat Itself definately saved rock-n-roll!

Alas. I was distracted.

"Rock" rolls off the tongue and invites other words, thus innovation.

"Rap" rhymes with "Tap", indicating an emphasis on "beats".

But aren't beats infinitely more ephemeral than ROCK? A beat dissipates; a rock sustains.

TS: racontuers vs. T.I.

not that I wqnt to give an iota of credence to his "argument"

this is too pitiful to be a joke. i think this guy really just glosses over all this hatred and is gonna do what he came to do. wow.

seems that he's far far from understanding how very basic types of interaction should work. the way he views his blog is like a person who getting an email address and just repeatedly checking, seeing they have no mail, thinking it's curious, but not wondering why that might be.

like he's heard the term 'blog', seen that there are people who have high-profile ones, and just naturally assumes that he is in the same level in that particular forum, regardless of the fact that there's no screening, they are free, anyone can get one, etc. etc. like he earnestly believes that people will want to hear his fucking opinions, but puts no thought into the practicality of that, and ignores all observations to the contrary. it's mind boggling, i can't figure this out!

Maybe the last level.

Take a bath, hippie.

rock is way more dead than rap, duder.

Amigo, if you think Rock is dead, then you really are out of touch...but then again most people are...except me ofcourse. I'm only slightly out of touch, but I'm aware enough to know that there is just as mcuch great Rock being made today as there was 40 years ago. The only difference is that society has changed, and that the best Rock being made today isnt generally heard on the radio...
Rock may not have the social impact it did in the 60s, but sonically you cans still find plenty of quality...

I guess you discovered this during the same extensive research that led you to conclude that white people like the Beastie Boys, huh?
