Say what you like about classic rock, but mindless it is not. Pink Floyd quotes T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" and Dreamtheater covers James Joyce and Shakespeare. Rush quotes Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.
Sometimes I think the rockers are not the destroying angels and the forces of entropy personfied they are made out to be. Sometimes I think they are the strongholds of civilization and art.
So, from an English teacher and lover of poetry, Rock On.

I haven't been one for metal.
But now, I am beginning to take interest. There is a new group to me that I want to checkout:
It's called Nightwish; Danny Gray introduced them to me. They are like Dreamweaver but more orchestra/opera.
