It’s not on TV. It’s not in the papers. It’s nowhere to be found. But it still exists. I have a closer full of records and hardrive after hardrive filled with MP3s which means it is real. It’s tangible. I can touch it, I can feel it, I can hear it, I can fuck to it. I have a radio sitting on top of my giant speakers with 25 different channels of rock n roll.

Rock n roll is not now nor has it ever been about fitting in.

As rock n rollers we should be encouraging other people to grow their hair long and buy an AC/DC record for the first time. But all too often we condemn others for wanting to try something new. Especially when we were their first. “You’re a poser. I’ve been listening to Rush since I was 18.” Well guess what asshole, someone else was listening to it before you no matter how early you discovered it.

If your 16 year old cousin decides to grow his hair long, tell him it looks cool. The world needs more people with enough balls to do something different.
