Rather, rock ‘n’ roll attempted to off itself late last night after hearing the biggest abomination in years on the radio. A drug overdose? No, although that would be appropriate. And its chances aren’t… ‘ ‘ ‘ Rock ‘n’ roll, ladies and gentlemen, is in critical condition. ‘ ‘ ‘ Rock ‘n’ roll, ladies and gentlemen, is in critical condition.
