If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.
This line from Freewill by RUSH I find very inspirational to this day. I have it written in places and I say it to myself all the time.

More like 30-40 years ago. And because that’s when Rock & Roll was Rock & Roll. Good number of them still out there layin it down in their 60s and 70s. That era was something special.Why are these quotes for stuff 20-30 years ago? Are any of them still living the dream?
Prog rock is weird. I kinda like it, but it's not sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It's like nerdy kids getting high playing D&D.

I wouldn’t know what is considered rock these days. For me Nirvana was never it. All I can say is, you had to be there to understand.Actually, I find the current bands really, really, rock and roll again! (Not so much the stuff I should have gone to high school with like 98 degrees- don't make your kids skip grades! - although Nirvana and NIN were awesome.) Although I like the old stuff; just found the continued love of it...interesting. I mean, I've seen all old bands that are still touring and they do rock, but I bet FJM is doing a lot more rock and roll stuff than Mick Jagger at present. He may be the the ultimate front man though. The partying that Tommy Lee and Poison did in the 80s, just looks so quaint now, ya know?

Ha, I’d like to say you’re right but I’m a good 12+ years older than you. Poison is a really bad example but guys like Tesla? Or The Red Hot Chili Peppers? They kept/keep it real. The first time I saw Tesla they didn’t have an opening act, hell the lights didn’t even go down. They just hit the stage and blew the place up. I grew up on some great music and I actually lean more towards my Dad’s stuff. More often than not you’ll find me listening to Elton John, The Eagles, The Steve Miller Band, Van Morrison to name a few.Ah, wenrob, I though you were my age or thereabouts?
@Micca - I didn't say bad weird. Just weird, weird. I like a lot of it.
I was just thinking of what the essence of rock and roll was; I know a lot of the old, old stuff, like Hendrix, wasn't staged and a lot of the 80s (just for instance using Poison in my comment above) was, and I see modern rockers really being so rock and roll again.
I'll add this awesome line for most rock and roll:
"All the wine is all for me"
