Opinions:
21. The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? – Beatles
22. Is music “good” nowadays? – Depends where it’s coming from. What genre it is. Yeah…there’s still good music to be had, you just seem to have to swim through more poo to find it. Lol
23. Should bands break up over band members deaths? – I’d probably say “yes” if it is the lead singer – they are too hard to replace. For me, Bon Scott, Freddie Mercury and Michael Hutchence are irreplaceable and the band is not the same without them. Other members probably COULD be replaced. Sorry guys! There are very few other band members like that that are irreplaceable. I can think of only one.
24. George Harrison or Eric Clapton? – Harrison! Clapton’s an asshat!
25. Thoughts on Feminism in rock? – I don’t have any…

27. Thoughts on Yoko Ono? – Meh.
28. Do you believe there should be an age limit to bands? – Hmmm. Not really. Only if they really seem past their best. But you can’t put that limit on ALL bands because it differs from group to group and it depends on their age when they started, how long they’ve been going, how music they’ve produced, etc…
29. Is musical fanaticism simply a fad for teenagers? – No!!! Definitely not! See my blog and you’ll see that’s a firm “no”! (I’m nearly 45)

37. Have you ever legitimately fallen in love with a band member? – Legitimately?! That’s a weird way to phrase. Well, if my feelings feel genuine, they are legit? So, yes.

57. Damon Albarn or Liam Gallagher? – Damon
