We see how that worked out. So, like Keith Richards said, rock was new and it was the first time it was going to have a generation take it into middle and late age. They seem to have done it respectively. So I guess Jay and them can do the same, even though by and large, the lyrical content of rap back then doesn't always lend itself to later age respectability. But then again, neither does Monkey Man or Midnight Rambler. And those are highlighted in current tours. Billy Eiliish needs to recognize that there's a lot of lying in rock.And for the record I hate having to just use Jay as the representative in these discussions.
