Rock will never be dead for me. Do I like a lot of what I hear on rock music radio? No, not for the most part.

Every once in a while something happens and you like it.

I love a smart, well-written show, and '30 Rock,' well, you can't get any better than that. Tina Fey poos funny. There's nothing that she does that isn't funny.
