It's true that
drinking beer and
banging out power chords is the backbone of
rock music today, but wasn't it always?
You say that like it's a bad thing!
Beer is the life-blood of rock and roll and it is in the nature of
rock and roll that this should be so.
Power chords are important because they only take two fingers to play, and that's crucial
when you can't count to three any more due to the beer.
Hey, I've got
Larks' Tongues in Aspic and all that, but
Exile on Main Street is the one I'd bring to a desert island.
