    Thanks Bruce. A very provocative article and I'm only a third of the
    way through it. (today, the writer could have used AI to markedly
    improve the readability of the article - he has even left out whole
    words in places)

    If this was 2004 this topic would likely have attracted 50 or more
    responses (including discussions/arguments between newsgroup members).

    I for one strongly disagree with writer (Justin Kaw, 2022) that Rock
    is merely an abbreviation of Rock-And-Roll. And he said "{post 60s}
    rock became bourgeois". There is nothing bourgeois about 50s
    Rockabilly or the music of Little Richard and Chuck Berry...

    I agree with him. It's just an abbreviation.

    I suggest you don't waste your time and effort applying to be
    Marketing Vice-President for any record company that sells both 50s Rock-And-Roll and 70s Rock.

    Yes, you're retired from 9-to-5 work, but everyone here will know what
    I mean :-)
