Yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute ! Now listen here people ! I’m talkin’ about the death of rock and roll, And who killed it. I’m talkin’ about the blues. I’m talkin’ about the news. Have you heard, have you heard, Have you heard the word ? Rock is dead. Rock is dead. Now I didn’t want to be the one to lay it on ya sweetheart, But I used to be a little fellow traveller. I used to think we had the whole thing sewed up, mama. Then I realised, Rock and roll is dying, baby. I wanna see some fun ! I wanna see some hanging out ! I wanna see my people Non-political Arithmetical Transcendental Irathamadental Coolambindang bupalookanimbo… ! Are you ready ? Are you ready ? Are you ready to sing the blues my baby ? Well, yeah, it´s dead, Let´s admit without shame we´re all necrophilic

Nothing like a sad reflection to wake up your hunger for sweetness!

The Blues had a baby...and they named Rock&Roll! Let´s honour the father!

I hate my favourite songs to be played at commercials.

It woulld have been great to be Bob Dylan and write "Mr. Tambourine Man".

No one can be happy. You can taste happiness at some moments, but these moments will dissolve like tears in the rain. And all you can do is wait for the next one, for your next dose of bliss ("Another flashing chance at bliss", in Jim Morrison´s words). And yes, you can ruin your life, as Janis did, searching for that. What makes artists like Janis and Grace so great is their talent to make us taste bliss too. These two ladies have given me lots of fun and good times!

I think CeeCeeRider is right. I´ve always had the same feeling about the lyrics in this song. One of Traffic´s masterpieces.
