Death of Rock 'n' Roll

As Frank Zappa once said about jazz, it "isn't dead--it just smells funny."
One the one hand, I don't hear much new rock that I like.  One the other hand, I don't work very hard at finding it.  All that having been said, I shouldn't have to try very hard.  I should be able to tune in to my local radio or Austin City Limits or AXS channel on the tube and find lots of it.  Rock is losing out to diversity (and, IMO, dilution).

That's a great story, Schubert.  Was it something like the scene in "The Shawshank Redemption" in which Tim Robbins plays an opera record for the men in the prison courtyard?
