Saw School of Rock last night at the cheap theater. A ton of fun, with great performaces from the kids.

What's struck me as odd is how the best definition they could give for rock was anger, sticking it to the man. The movie did it's best to say it wasn't about drugs or sex, this is a kids movie, but all they could come up with was anger. There are some good sub themes about growing up, and taking chances and the desire to create art, but anger was presented as rocks defining characteristic.

I gues we're just to cyncical a cultrue to accept anything else, even in a kids movie.

- Peace
