Re: OT: definition of (contemporary) Rock 'n' Roll



We used to say if your parents listen to it, it's not Rock and roll, then 
we 
became parents...and then grandparents..I want to get off here please!
What is played on commercial radio these days I guess is R and R cause I 
don't listen to much of it. but then my radios are stuck on pbs around 
here 
(central Florida).. no collage radio like some bigger towns.
Thank God for the internet!

Jeff
