Bollocks to all ye naysayers!

Head-up-their-arses geezer rockers (yes, you!) and indie rock snobs (are there any other kind?) incessantly grumble over Greta Van Fleet’s hearty homage to their influences. However amnesia sets in with regard to the obvious factoid that the omnipotent Beatles, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Sonic Youth, Oasis, and Led “We Can Afford the Best Lawyers” Zeppelin – all pilfered heavily from those that came before them. 

Refer to Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, Little Richard, and Buddy Holly among others who wuz robbed!  Akin to his mentor, the former John Baldwin, bassist / keyboardist Samuel Kiszka is a fluid, soulful player who serves the almighty song. Refreshing to witness a bona fide rock band piss off folks in the 21st Century. Long may they infuriate and inspire a new generation.
