I swear to god, this is the single most indefensible statement anybody
has ever made on Audities. If "Back Stabbers," "Use Ta Be My Girl,"
"For the Love of Money" (and any number of other songs as good or
better than the Hollies' best) "sure as hell ain't rock and roll" --
and the only reason I can think of that anyone would say something
like that marks said person as a chump at best and an ass at worst --
then the term rock and roll has officially lost all meaning.
This is lamer than the "chicks can't sing rock" crap from a few years
ago.
