"classic rock" is dead.
don't agree?
fine, go out and point out for me ten stoner kids under twenty with Led Zeppelin shirts on.
you won't be able to do it, because the stoner kids don't listen to rock anymore.

if i may make a prediction, the classic rock radio format will be non-existant within 10-15 years, and replaced by the Classic Rap format "Featuring the best of the nineties, zeroes AND tens!" it'll be impossible to avoid gottdamned Eminem even thirty years from now.

as much as i pined for the death of the classic rock radio format while it was king,
given its death, and the negligible value of the new royalty,
i'm a little nostalgic for it.

please, enter into the comments zone, and list out a few of your favorite Classic Rock hits.
there is no shame here, bare all!

Post-heroin, post-mortem

As much as I'm glad for anyone who escapes the clutches of an opiate addiction, the departure seems to degrade bands' creative output. Why is pain the fuel for so much excellent art? Hendrix would almost certainly have lost his shot at musical sainthood by stickin' around the living world.

I picked a glam era Bowie tune because it seemed to fit the genre best. The classic rock stations in LA tend to play Young Americans, Fame, or Golden Years though, all of which I usually prefer over the Stardust. For recent Davey, I enjoy the Heathen album. I like what that famous Brazilian singer did with his songs in the Life Aquatic too, just picked up that soundtrack last month.
