Re: Chicken Rock
Thanks for the definition. I think I see where you're coming from. I just hope that by Genesis you mean 80's Genesis. I'd hardly call their prog stuff "chicken." ;-)
Lita Ford on the radio would definitely make my day. I find myself singing that hit of hers randomly from time to time. I don't remember the title, but you know the one: "Went to a party last Saturday night, didn't get laid, got in a fight" and so on. Did that at church during Vacation Bible School once, barely even thinking about it...I got a really weird look.
Gotta feel bad for Billy Joel, man. I remember reading an article where he was lamenting his position of being stuck between Lite FM and classic rock. I guess he wishes people took him more seriously. That's what happens when you're so good and tuneful. People don't take you seriously; they take you for granted.
I'm launching into a huge rambly music type post. I'll stop here.
Again, thanks for the clarification.
