I Rock Out With the TV

Posted by admin | Uncategorized | Thursday 7 February 2013 12:00 am

Going to take a break from the norm to speak frankly about my love affair with rock.

I don’t go to concerts and I don’t go to shows – if I want to rock out, I do it in front of the TV.

I don’t care if that sounds weird or makes me seem like any less of a legit rocker. I feel like if you spent enough time on this site already, you would see that I’m all about the rock – which is why I seek it off the TV.

Satellite radio is too expensive and the regular old radio is clouded too heavily with ads that break up my mojo. And why would I invest in stacks and stacks of CDs that you only end up having to find storage for?

All I need to do is fire up the cable television and jump right to the music channels. Whatever kind of rock I love – chances are good that there’s a channel for it that I can have going on in the background while I tidy up the house, maintain this site, or unwind after a busy day.

It’s not Woodstock and it’s not the Headbanger’s ball, but it’s comfortable and convenient.

All music tells a story or makes a point. Some examples of storytelling would include Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Saturday Night Special, or the Moody Blues’ Legend of a Mind. Some music makes a joke out of subjects like Short People or little Nash Ramblers in Beep, Beep. The difference between classic rock and new rock is not the storytelling or the angst, but the passion with which the subject is rendered.
