    is it just me or did anyone else notice Spears or suchlike being referred to as "rock stars", sill programs that are about "becoming a rockstar" that are really about being a woussy pop-person.

    feckin pop concerts being called rock concert? WTF?

    any thoughts?

    Am i just getting too old and Britany really is Rock now?

    "School of Rock" is the modern Bible on what Rock is. Watch it.

    Tenacious D are also quite good on this subject. See their wisdom on: The Road.
