We don’t accept posts on history, if you gave me time to approve the titles, this one would be rejected anyway, I’m sorry that you spent time writing it. Instead, you could talk of new rock bands, just choose 3-4 bands and talk of their music, recent activity, rumors, etc.
history of rock music new rock bands
The new rock bands have replaced the old guard, for better or worse; to my jaundiced perception, worse. Such bitterness, over what; hearing loss, lost chromosomes, wasted money on concerts and musical equipment trying to relive it?
That must be it. I am just a sore loser. A loser of the music world; of time wasted listening to music when I could have been doing other things. The history of rock music is quite a story. Of which has been told and retold ad infinity.
The history of rock music is near and dear to my heart. New rock bands come and go; I just wish that they would go sooner. Am I still bitter, Oh well, as Fleetwood Mac once said? It is doubtful that the salient facts are known to many of its current alleged practitioners.
The history of rock music reflects the history of modern civilization; or more apropos, the decline and fall thereof. In the beginning; there was Little Richard, who saw that it was good, he begat Chuck Berry, who begat the Beatles. Guess I should ixnay on the begats.
The American Negro, or forgive me if the proper current term, or what, the Black Americans, enslaved as history has noted, sang the blues and then this music, with the aid of electronics, evolved into rock music.
O thank heaven, perhaps not the convenience store though, for that. How strange and marvelous that from such suffering, comes the joy of rock music. That’s why I love it I guess. Or as Alice Cooper so succinctly stated, ‘guess I’ll love it to death.’ It alleviates, or at least makes more bearable, the sorrows of life.
Maybe I would have been better off if it never existed. Maybe I’d have become a botanist or something more relevant than a struggling musician turned blogger.
