Is Rock n Roll Dead?

[Ed Jewett]

Rock lives!

Back around about a thousand years ago, the band I was a Roadie with fronted for these guys.

Rock lives! :rockandroll::rockandroll::rockandroll:

AND drummers never die.

Their sticks just grow brittle...

Before or AFTER Eric Clapton? Did a gig with CREAM many moons ago, Philadelphia, I think... LMAO :peace:

Oh yes, Clapton was there alright, in the dressing room playing a silent guitar (unplugged in), Ginger Baker was throwing up in a corner from his (I suspected anyway) heroin intake, and Jack Bruce was just quiet.

I was never a roadie, the only musical instruments I ever played (mercifully for a short while) were the accordion and the tuba, but I did get to sit on the small stage inside the Student Union ballroom next to the keyboardist for these guys and this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aWFaZgwerY .

And I did get to party with these guys (yes, Mary was in attendance too):

But none of it holds a candle to sitting in the audience at Saunders Theater and listing to Bobby Millitello chant over the mouthpiece of his flute during a rendition of Brubeck's Koto Song.
