The Rock and Roll Report is a place to go when you are tired of the same music played over and over on commercial rock radio. Playing great rock and roll from indie and unsigned bands.

Foreigner still have a chance

March 9, 2004 by Mark Boudreau 

According to Aging Rockers Still Getting Gigs in Australia people like Bryan Ferry, David Bowie and the Christine McVie-less Fleetwood Mac are selling out gigs in Australia like crazy. I have no problem with this. As I have always said, just because you’re an old rock and roller doesn’t mean that you are a crap rock and roller, it just depends on why you are still doing it. David Bowie is still going at it and I wouldn’t consider him any less vital today. My problem is when bands keep going strictly for the money when they really can’t stand each other anymore. Exhibit 1: Van Halen. That I find way more depressing than the Stones making another grab at the golden ring. And for the record I own at least 2 Foreigner records and I don’t mind them at all.
Later.
