Rip Van Winkle awakens to discover AC-DC and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers...
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Remember when Rip Van Winkle ripped off that Queen song to back up his rap song.
Oh wait, that's ROB Van Winkle. My bad.

Nope, mocking you would be suggesting you had Edison Wax Cylinders of Enrico Caruso--all is well

...or Edison's original recording of "Mary had a little lamb"!
(and BTW John, to answer your initial question...yes, some of these Hinckley-built twins sound pretty darn good once one does something with their exhaust system, AND Springsteen still rocks on pretty well today too!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Nope, nothing worthwhile has been recorded since they gave up using real musical instruments sometime in the early to mid 1960's.

Man.. lots of good R&R out there still being pumped out for the open of mind rocker. Bits and pieces, here and there but it's still happening... and what was wrong with disco?!?!? Are you saying you never had the dream of getting down to Brickhouse under the sparkly lights?.. I can see you now in your orange spandex suit with the New York brim and the white platform shoes. Stylin'..

OK, I'll admit there are some fine tunes being put out there on occasion. Regarding the orange spandex jumpsuit image.........I'm tempted to "edit" that out of your reply for the good of humanity - yikes!

searching the cellar shelves for a jug of mind bleach...
I'm still trying to bleach out the image of my father with his white belt and white shiny shoes - we knew when he was sportin' them he was going out on a tear.

I suppose a gratuitous video clip of a leather clad bird singing about how much she loves rock n roll wouldn't hurt much

Theres loads of good stuff out there. You just got to be a bit daring and listen to stuff you wouldn't normally listen to.
But having said that there is so much manufactured crap as well to wade through.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Going back a bit to the lady that influenced Sretchermonkey's clip (1974 in fact) But any excuse to put on the lady I had a crush on when I was 7 web page Of course I'm over that now, and its purely coincidental that I like leatherclad woman.  But not in a kinky suit
