Why is Rock Music's Hottest Genre Again?

Season 1 · Episode 38

Thursday, March 19, 2026 • Duration 01:15:22

We close out our History of Music Production series on a high note with a fascinating discussion on the weird history of delay: from hijacking telephone wires to oil cans, it just keeps getting more bizarre. Next, pundits have been saying for a long time that rock music is dead and the future of music is country. But not so fast! Rock music seems to be having a cultural resurgence and we get into why.

Then...whew. We have a music news extravaganza for you. First a few stories that serve to illustrate how the music industry is still alive and thriving—from Taylor Swift to boutique hotels. Next, surprising news about the Live Nation antitrust case (file also in the "It's not dead!" department); YouTube takes another crown as the world's largest media company; but it's the subject of an important AI lawsuit; Tidal may be gunning for Bandcamp's business; and Fender wins a lawsuit against Stratocaster copycats in Europe.

Finally, we close out with Take It Or Leave It advice about how to be a better live performer.
