Watching the Billboard Music Awards and WTF… pardon my Latin.
In the Rock category (and I use that term loosely)… Top Rock Song won by… wait for it… Pumped up Kicks by Foster the People.
So nowadays they’re calling Pop, Rock. And Rock greats are now regulated to the Adult Alternative Category? Thank GOD for bands like Shinedown, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen and the Stones keeping Rock n Roll alive.
