Politicians, nightly news readers, movie stars, people in the lime light are called to task for any comment that is the least little bit not politically correct. Rock stars, on the other hand, seem to be able to sing or say just about anything. Should everyone be held to high standards, or like me, do you think everyone should have the right to voice their opinions without fear of retribution?

I just read an article about Jonny Lang, a guitar prodigy at 16. Around here we have been seeing a lot of young musical talent. Do you notice that happening around you?

    Yes

  >Sort of

    No

Here's one for you musical conspiracy folks. Do you think that Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles?

    Yes

  >Could be

    Nope

Extreme rock (i.e., modern hard rock) ... that's what the "hardDrive" radio show with Lou Brutus is all about. The show's not everywhere ... do you get a show like this on your local radio?

    Yes, I listen to Lou Brutus

    Yes, we have something similar

  >No, but I wish we did

    No, but I'm not into extreme rock

    No

I'm not choosing him as the winner, but Adam Lambert was really impressive with his rendition of Smokey's "The Tracks of My Tears". And then I heard that on this supposedly 'live' show, the group songs are pre-recorded and the contestants lip-sync. How much does lip-syncing take away from a performance?
