    Ironically, the man who sings of a vanishing America includes himself on that list. "Rock music is really folk music," he recently explained. "We are really not part of the mainstream any more. With a lot of these songs I hear, I don't know if there is any room for folk singers right now, if there is any place for us.

    "I'm not complaining," he adds. "I'm just saying that's the way it is ... I don't think rock is gonna resurface as the dominant force in music. Rock is on its last crippled legs. There's no place in pop music today for fellows like me. It's hard for me to imagine one of my songs on the radio followed by a Britney Spears song."

    Yeah, well, life goes on.

    Long after the thrill of living is gone.

    Life is something that happens when your planning something else.

    Seeing this is more a general statement on music as a ehole, rather than anything VH-related, I'll throw it over to music meeting place.
    A little zen....... Headed your way.......
