...Rock me, sexy PUTIN...
...think I understood guitar rock as well as I probably should have. I don't think I understood bands like Led Zeppelin. In their era, everyone had such a regard for them because of them ushering in rock 'n' roll and this larger-than-life lifestyle. But then they had these songs that would just not stop. I didn't fully get it. I appreciate it in a different way now. I'm able to understand that, hey, that guitar riff is awesome...
...think it was some rock critic, maybe Chuck Klosterman, who said that every guy goes through a Zeppelin phase at some point in his life...
...that. I believe he also said that every rock band is based on either Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. I'm pretty sure that's what he said. I'll be honest: I'm a lover of Klosterman. Even when he goes over the line, I love it. I read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and then I just finished his collection of articles, Klosterman IV, which had a great Britney Spears story...
...bands half a chance now. But I hold some kind of nostalgia for them that I won't let go. Bands like Minor Threat and Black Flag. If someone just gave that stuff to me and I didn't have any of the associations that went along with punk rock or the angst, do I think that I would just go, Hey, I like this song, as opposed to "Umbrella" by Rihanna? I'm not sure. I think I would probably go with "Umbrella." I'm probably going to get shot for saying that, but it's the truth...
