Oracle,

Well, you asked how old we are, and Creedence is older than ELO and is a favorite American band. Are there some suck bands from that era? Sure.

But you can't hold a whole era responsible for the behavior of a few, bad bands. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole classic rock genre? And if the whole classic rock genre is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our whole musical industry in general? I put it to you, Oracle - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to me, but I for one am not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.

Jeezus, that post was in jest. I doubt I'm much younger than most here. Just that, when ONLY discussing classic rock, you're probably old as fucking shit.

With all respect given.

That crash identifies as a Zeppelin groupie has to be the least surprising fact I will read in these pages today. Unless he follows up with a Van Halen reference....the Diamond Dave variant of course.

Why does "The" Oracle hate America?

[whodean]

I feel that much of the "rock and roll" vibe has recently been moved to what is now lumped into "Americana" by the media because they don't know what else to call it.

[Wild Hoss]

He hates our freedoms.

Jeezus, you're setting us up for your in person viewing of the LCA premier featuring kid rock eh? Picking ol geez up on the way.

Murica!!

Where all my Nugent fans???

Oh no, this isn't over, Oracle!

Nothing is over until I decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

What the fuck happened to the Oracle I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? These could be the greatest posts of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. 'Ooh, I'm afraid to argue with you, AA, we get our feelings hurt! ' Well, just kiss my ass from now on! I'm not gonna take this. Maroon 5 is a dead band! Fall Out Boys, dead! Three Doors Down...

Oh, great, MORE 70s references!!!!!!!

3 Doors Down killed rock music. Took it out in a field and offed it ike Joe Pesci in "Casino".

3 doors down didn't do anything to anything. Fart in the wind.


All we are are farts in the wind.

The Oracle is clearly a 3DD apologist, and quite possibly engages in musical terrorism too boot.

Oracle, we live in a world that has classic rock, and that classic rock has to be remembered and listened to by me. If not, who will listen? You? You, The Oracle? I have a greater iTunes playlist than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Katy Perry and you curse CCR. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that ELO's music, while tragic, is still better than One Dimension. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want them on your playlist. You need them on your playlist. We use lyrics like 'don't bring me down' and 'Mr. Blue Sky.' We use these lyrics as nostalgia from going to concerts as a youth. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain the Allman Brothers to a man who rises and sleeps listening to Imagine Dragons, and then questions the music I listen to! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a cowbell and join the band. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!
