“WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE, AND WHY WE ARE HERE…
ROCK AND ROLL… IT’S BEEN DONE BEFORE, RIGHT? THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH THAT THUNDERING SOUND MADE FAMOUS IN THE 60’S AND 70’S AND SLOWLY SHAPED EACH DECADE AFTER THAT STILL LIVES ON. YOU’LL FIND BITS AND PIECES OF IT HERE AND THERE IN CONTEMPORARY POPULAR MUSIC, BUT ROCK ISN’T WHAT IT ONCE WAS… THERE ARE THOSE WHO STILL BLAZE THE TRAIL WITH DISTORTED GUITARS,  A DOMINANT RHYTHM SECTION, AND SCORCHING VOCALS. THERE ARE THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE SECRET FIRE AND GUARD IT WITH THEIR LIVES
