My son and nephew listen to "Death Metal" which to mean sounds more like someone with a severe cold trying to scream or a satanic ritual of some kind (not that the lyrics are satanic). Then there is rap, pop (which never seems to change) and the classic Jazz, Blues and Classical music which too seems to remain the same. Only the rock we know has seemed to disappear. As you stated the great rock bands are aging, as are we, and disappearing for what might be forever. While old rock favorites may be sung by garage bands worldwide, NEW rock bands don't seem to be forming or at least are not making it into mainstream music mediums. Is our rock our parents' big band music? Regrettably the answer probably is yes....at least as WE know rock. Present and future generations will mold "rock" into their own perception of what it should be for their day. So OUR rock may be dead but "rock" will live on in one form or another....we may just not recognize it (or understand it!
