Is Rock and Roll Dead?

This is a correction on the podcast file that was uploaded on Oct 24, 2023 which seems to have had the previous episode incorrectly uploaded.  Thanks to a listener for noting the error.  Enjoy

Streaming has fundamentally changed how we experience music as well as the economic landscape.  A music genre that was once dominant in the 70's and 80's now is  a relatively uncommon sight on the charts.  The last #1 Rock song on the charts was Nickelback in 2001.  Now, an Italian rock band with a Danish name Maneskin is tearing up the charts (still not number 1 though).  They are big in Europe and won the Eurovision competition a few years ago but now to stay relevant they are pushing to be heard in the US.
