We had guys like Bobby in band class, not sure why - the most modern songs we performed were Conga by Gloria Estefan and All I Need Is a Miracle by Mike and the Mechanics, and our biggest crowd-pleaser for the parents in the bleachers during basketball games was the Dallas theme song. Maybe because in between sets, they liked playing tapes on the band room's admittedly bad-ass stereo set-up. I made them hate me when I put in a tape, and Stairway to Heaven started playing, which got them excited, but it was a parody with the words to Gilligan's Island replacing the lyrics. The Bobbys declared that sacrilegious.
Jazz is fantastic. But rock isn't dead, it just needed some new lifeblood from some different voices. I've got the new album from The Warning on pre-order, and bands like Band-Maid are making new fans all the time. Babymetal is a global phenomenon, and Rolling Quartz are doing great out of South Korea.
I like to think that Dave Foley's Mr Gorgenchuck character is actually the mystery serial mass murder in the Life as a Mass Murderer, and Substitute Axe sketches.
Now that you say That? I can kinda see that. But? Sametime? He out and public so much about it? The mass murder. People won't say anything. You know chop chop
Reminds me of the World Economic Forum flute player girl, They literally want people tame and placated. Rock and Roll is a threat against global naz1ism, lol. This is actually a real thing, not a joke anymore, and I love it. Why did MTV stop letting young artists express their talent and political statements? World Powers don't want Americans expressing at all.
@@insectwarriorjojo7780So is Dick Dale, but Dick Dale is also Rock and Roll. I love surf music, surfing is the way to go through life, but help people along the way too.
WOW, that information from the 80s turned out too be right!! Rock has basically died, when you look at most of today's popular music! Sad!!!! Not many bands rock out like they used too.
The particulars of the decline of rock didn't quite play out as predicted, but nevertheless the core concept of the sketch was pretty spot on, and since seeing it I can never hear any "Rock and Roll will never die!" sentiment without thinking "Now that's just where you're wrong Bobby."
Haven't seen this in 30 years but I'll never forget it, because at the time I was an oddball teen getting into rock from the 70's and I was really into Bad Company. It was cool to hear a reference to them in a skit.
@@knuteboy3778 Holy shit, you're right. I raced home every day after elementary school to watch KitH. I never realized the pilot aired before I was 1 year old. My apologies.
@@JustOneAsbesto Yeah no problem. I did look up the year before i posted the original comment because I couldn't quite remember what year it was..lol. I knew it was early in their run.
