Rock and roll tradition

Rock and roll used to be kid’s music.  Now we’re all accustomed to rockin’ out with a pack of greybeards on stage.  This is an important transition in rock culture.  The genre has matured, and in this respect caught up with similar folk-musical traditions around the Earth and across time.

Here’s a related shift we might look forward to:  As old band members age out and new ones come in, why kill the band when the original members have all departed?  Pass the torch and keep going.

The music never stops.
