I guess I am basically a rock 'n roll person. I love the energy of it. When disco was the rage, it was a very depressing time for me as far as music went. It was repetitive and boring! It had not an ounce of drive or energy. Then, along came punk rock and the Sex Pistols. They literally, as well as other punkers, saved true rock with all it's energy! Disco is long gone and rock 'n roll is here to stay!
