I originally met Stevie Ray at the Elmo. 27 years ago. Rock guitar owned the world in those days. Now the music world is dominated by pussies in GAP clothes. Doesn't matter anymore what shit spews out of their gaping, cocksucking mouths. It has nothing to do with music anymore, and has everything to do with selling whatever useless shit they sign their name to.
The memory of rock and roll still lingers, but there is not one single person - maybe Jack White (but that's pushing it) - who will stand on stage with a guitar strapped on his back and dominate the airwaves.
That's over. Its done with. Rock guitar is dead. Rock and roll is dead. Today, Stevie Ray Vaughn would not be worth the time of day. Brian Setzer.. who? Even Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, and Jimmy Page mean nothing now - and there is no-one in line to replace them.
I'm gonna leave the last word to the Reverend Billy G. Jesus done left Chicago, and he's bound for New Orleans. But New Orleans died with Katirina, and Katrina took what was left of rock and jazz with it.
