Here's Little Steven talking about rock, the history of popular music, and where we're at right now:
The rock era is over. I clock it pretty much from "Like a Rolling Stone" to Kurt Cobain's death. We're back in a sort of a pre-Beatles pop era, and that's probably where we're going to stay for a while. Rock is never going to be mainstream again, but at this point we're fighting to even find it a niche. When we started the radio show, there wasn't one rock band signed to a major label. Now there's about 15. Five or six have broken through nicely – the White Stripes, the Hives – but if the Rolling Stones came out today, there's no format that would play them except for my show.
