First, thank you for a respectful and well thought out response.

"When I listen to something like the Sex Pistols (or even most of The Clash), for example, I suspect that certain musical virtues are abandoned (most of the ones I like) in favor of that subversion."

"(Country) music is three chords and the truth" - Harlan Howard

"You can't beat 2 guitars, bass, drum" - Lou Reed

"Certain musical virtues" are no substitute for that direct line to the heart that the best rnr embodies. It's not about solos or virtuosity... it's about changing your awareness.

That's the meat of great art: painting, music, dance, film.....

That's all I can say. That's all there is to say.
