Rock and POP are no fun if the lyrical content gets “heavy.” When one has to “rock out” the “heavy trips” need not apply. To define “rocking out”: it is a party of music, a collection of songs, or the playing of a single song in between the “heavy trips” of reality. That’s why the “whiny boy” blues of Mayer and the “heavy trip” grunge bands couldn’t get off the airwaves soon enough for me. Who wants to eat veggies when it’s more fun to drink beer?
