“A certain element of
rock is over, but I don’t think it’ll ever be dead. As long as there’s a kid on
the street with a guitar who wants to make a noise, rock will be alive
somewhere. Stadium rock, yes, I think that is over. Rock and roll’s going to a
period of transition. It’s just gone to the Catskills. It’ll come back.” —English
rock ‘n’ roll singer-songwriter Ray Davies
(pictured here at left, with his former—maybe future?—band, The Kinks), interviewed by Andy Greene, in “The Last Word: Ray Davies,” Rolling Stone, Apr. 6, 2017The Catskills...Hmmm...If
what Davies has in mind is East Durham, then rock 'n' roll's in quite a
"period of transition"—and may emerge with an Irish brogue!
