...And the death of rock and roll was created!

Thanks for upgrading to charter for the very first time and helping to support the Sift after all these years! You're all ready to rock and roll for a whole year!

But one must first try. What Alex is trying to get across here is that you don't have to start from your fallback plan and stick to that.

One also has to remember that Alex is second generation immigrant, there is tremendous pressure on that gen as they are the first to have a full set of new opportunities. Unlike many bands, Rush members were not flunking grades, they are pretty intelligent, parents could see them becoming lawyers, doctors etc. Rock and roll as a career was then still new one.

But first you have to try, take risks and if it doesn't work, go to your second plan. If you are a parent, support that first try. Art is what drives mankind forward, it IS the hardest to succeed in it. That is the lesson you need to get across: "most likely, it's not gonna happen so be prepared for plan B". A lot of parents just don't want to see that plan A fail , which is going to happen if you don't let them even try.

And you are right on that number, it's very very close to reality. about 1 in 100 can get a work in music industry as a technician etc. blue collar job. About 1 in 1000 will get work as an artist. But that blue collar work, it's something special.. You learn to be a polymath and fast problem solver, you learn how to organize, how to delegate, how to communicate with anyone, how to get things done with the tools you have available. Technicians that have worked behind the stage are really talented and sought after.. They get things done, period.

not sure it's quite rock and roll, but it's definitely *music

Welcome to VideoSift!

Man or Astroman? carved-out and rode the punk-surf-space-schtick for years and is still goin' strong-The future of rock and roll will be carved-out in garages and basements once again, this next wave fleshed and transcribed from small home-studios through YT, ITunes-hits, and WOM.
Radio is dead, rap/hip-hop is as deflated and over-cooked in an oven of unwatched souffles, and pop and country???.....Complete shit without a soul. Time for another fat wave of rebellion and focused anger at establishment in music.

S'ok for a gal havin' fun with some equipment-Always hated this fuckin' tune, s'all I heard people fawning-over in the 90s while grunge-pop was leaving that void of dark matter in rock and roll universe... Decent untrained voice, cheesy props....Kept wishing she'd spill that pretentious glass of whatever red wine she put up there to let everyone know she's hip. Meh meh meh.

Comes form having been critiqued over and over again, sorry folks. It's called honesty tinctured with asshole.

Thank you for re-upgrading to charter! You're all set to rock and roll for the next 30 days and 30 nights.

the birth of rock and roll

"Rock and rolls' a vicious game, Ian...Tom Petty!....Eyyyyanh!"

They were saying the same thing about rock and roll and interracial marriage.

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

When you look back at how people in virtually every generation has said the exact same thing as the next generation comes into it's own. It's stupid then and it's stupid now.

old white men whining that they don't have the power and influence they used to. boo hoo.

GoddDAMN what a sexy aircraft! Thank the Yanks n Ruskies, or we'd all be speaking that hack und spit language now, and rock and roll would have never transpired. Music would be such utter crap had Hitler had the upper hand.....We missed that shit by a handfull of months.

Sexy frikkin' plane.....
