As our search for all that has gone wrong with rock music continues, Episode 19 puts rock's most powerful symbol, the guitar itself, under fire. How did the guitar go from the coolest object on Earth to an instrument for wimps? We also discuss the death of rock's founding father Chuck Berry, the possible retirement of Eric Clapton, and a host of guitar-related names such as Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine, Al Di Meola, and Vinnie Moore. Pat also reviews Panic! At the Disco's recent Madison Square Garden gig.
We thank all of our supporters who stepped up to get behind this
brand new podcast this past year. We make it a point not to focus
on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with
that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to
everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music
along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad
canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with
each episode. So there is still always something for everyone.

Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen,
Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood
