My song of the moment:
With that definition of rock, I can see why you and I and so many others here have a general disdain for so much of the "mainstream rock" these days. It matches very few of these things in the definition.

A caller told LAPD, "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." West Hollywood, CA, -- Police say a popular comic appears to have killed himself. Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold out crowds, has died of a gunshot wound. Los Angeles police found the 45 year old performer alive but gravely wounded in a West Hollywood home Saturday morning when they responded to a call from Jeni's girlfriend. According to LAPD, the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." Jeni died at a nearby hospital. Police say suicide has not been officially confirmed and the investigation is continuing. Jeni regularly toured the country with a standup act and had starred in several HBO comedy specials, most recently "A Big Steaming Pile of Me." He also appeared on the "Tonight Show" and in movies like "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey. |

Former frontman of the the Little River Band, Glenn Shorrock also paid tribute to Thorpe, who was a "true child of rock'n'roll", he said.
"Billy was an uncompromising heavy metal fan - he played louder and higher than anyone and he lived his life that way. He was a true child of rock'n'roll."
He was a man whose joie de vivre affected all around him, Shorrock said.
"[He had the] metabolism of an elephant, uncompromising in his approach to his music and his life.
"[He was] sartorially elegant - he always presented himself immaculately everywhere he went, and a wonderful sense of humour."
