Anthemic Rock - or a lack thereof ...


Yesterday evening, I went to an NFL game at [Big Corporate Sponsor] Stadium. Alongside the $8 beers, and the $7 hot dogs, I noticed that the music predates many of the attendees.

This got me to wondering: doesn't anyone today write the bone-rattling, crowd maddening, stadium shaking tunes that incite our teams to win?

Last night I heard lots of Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, and a bit o' Led Zeppelin. I know we don't hear Gary Glitter anymore since he got a little to, err, friendly with an underage girl. Still though, hasn't anything come out in the last 20 or 30 years? I swear, the most recent song I heard was by Guns 'n' Roses - and that came out in 1989.

And yes, I know where I am. I'm in the jungle baby ....
