We're playing blocks of "Fathers of Rock" all weekend long.  Some of the best bands & artists that have defined...not only "classic rock"...but rock & roll in general.  Could you imagine what the world would sound like without The Beatles?  Jimi?  The Who?  The musical landscape would be completely different...exponentially!

What if Slash wasn't inspired by Aerosmith?  What if Metallica wasn't inspired by Motorhead?  It's a strange rabbit hold to go down, but it would be interesting if we could do a "Wonderful Life" sort of experiment and see what happens if Keith Richards never heard of Chuck Berry.

So, this is why we celebrate The Fathers of Rock this weekend as you celebrate the fathers in your life.  Cheers!
