Rock and roll. The music that changed the world. From the dulcet tones of Janis Joplin and subdued melodies of Jimi Hendrix to the straight riffs of Peter Green and the simple, childish lyrics of Stevie Nicks, classic rock and roll is a subtle, yet ever-present force in the musical world. I mean, who can deny the musical influences? Can anyone truly deny hearing a touch of Dylan in Tom Petty's vocal ministrations? Does anyone truly believe that ZZ Top's 3 chords were not first used in the 60s?
Before we continue, a note to the players of trivia: We, the writer [sic] of this bonus, would like to plug our own particular agendum. In the 'Rock and Roll' bonus, you will not find the following: Ani DiFranco, the Indigo Girls, Prince, Erasure, or many other recent bands. We're sticking to real music here. None of this Dave Matthews whiny crap. No Mariah Carey (get a good songwriter. You can afford one!), no Lisa Loeb (I ain't gonna touch that one, as I am a self-respecting American man), and finally, no song-like noises by that new band, Goo Goo Matchbox Semi-Hard 20 Sonic Ball-Dolls.
This is rock and roll. Pure and simple. Don't mess with me. I'll kill you.
