I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.

Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.
Man, don't get me started on Pat Travers. That dude writes killer blues rock and roll riffs.

Rock Hudson let his gay agent marry him off to his secretary because he didn't want people to get the right idea.

Fall Out Boy used to be my favorite rock band.
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine.
I've asked these guys in rock bands with all the 18-wheelers driving to the venue how they make money. I just don't understand it. But I don't understand a lot of things.
