| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll One side note: there is such a thing as noble rock music. I'll cite The Moody Blues example from above again as an example. A lot of Yes as well.

| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll I don't see rock musicians as all that different in basic makeup from the great classical composers, or most people in general. Many had their "demons" and music helped to "exorcise" them. Different times, different places, different experiences i... | |

He is critiquing the music and how he perceives it as affecting people in a way that is negative or harmful to people. There is no doubt it has in many cases... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll Timeless TroubadoursI've read this. Written by a respected and reputable author in his field apparently, not a music critic or media guy. Definitely a lot in there to dispute the notion that all rock music is bad. | |
