Meh, that doesn't really concern me. I'm more concerned with my own mortality, and those of other family members.

I actually do go there to post, but you ghouls always beat me to it.
My wife's friend's husband died Saturday. He was a minor player in the punk rock community of the city that he lived in his whole life (not DC) for the last 35 years. I only met him once, 15+ years ago. I'm actually pretty sad about that.

One for the topic, Tom:
“We don’t even say the word ‘rock’ on the radio station — we’re New York’s new alternative,” said Mike Kaplan, the ALT 92.3 program director and format captain for alternative across Entercom, the station’s parent company, in an earlier interview. “I don’t think there’s a big win in using the word rock today,” he added.
“The raw, guitar-rock sound is really — I don’t want to say it’s done, but …” He trailed off. “It’s present, but it’s morphed and mixed with other instrumentation. Does anyone really go to Guitar Center anymore and pick up the guitar?”

Well little Richard was not a guitar guy..RNR started with piano and honking saxes…to me it starts in New Orleans then gets mainstreamed with blues (Chicago chess…guitar…Chuck Berry) and rockabilly (Sun and Elvis)
But what Little Richard was more than anything was the attitude of rnr and that is never going to die..ain’t nobody ever been more punk than Little Richard
