Think of all the lives rock 'n' roll has fucked up through dashed dreams of stardom, de rigeur drug addictions, its grotesque portrial of "chicks", its ineffectual efforts to stick it to "the man", its racist wholesale plunder of the blues, the idea that positive social change can come from shouty, arrogant brattiness rather than through a reasoned, informed perspective on society's woes. It's the soundtrack to modern capital isn't it? The Coca-cola of music. Providing just enough of an illusion of free will to make you think your selfish, drug-fuelled "lifestyle" is making a difference to, or is at least an escape route from, industrial society. When in fact you're easily as conformist as your Tory grandma.
