I agree. Or even some new high profile star or rockstar like Jack White or Jack Black or Dave Grohl or Kelly Clarkson to name but a few. It seems that even these offspring have also been brainwashed by the media. So then they'll even where the same t-shirts that they saw on TV or in magizines. It's also easy to find an AC/DC or LZ t-shirt, but not a DP shirt. Once in awhile you may see someone like Slash with an IN ROCK shirt or Bette Midler in a PS shirt but that's rare as world peace.

Re: Clearly Quite Absurd
Of ocurse Jack Black did have the kids play Smoke on the Water in School of Rock. And Deep Purple was figured prominently in the curriculum...:-)
Although I beleive he gave the keyboard player a Yes album to get rock keyboard playing down....should've been In Rock.

Slash w/an Inrock shirt eh?
Missed that...but saw Axel wearing a Purple shirt that had the word DEEP across the front...close enough.

Re: Clearly Quite Absurd
CQA - I really like it. Best mellow DP song since SIFLS. As for DP being on mainstream radio and "popular" I have mixed feelings. I would like them to be recognized but I kind of like the way it is now. The true fans that know them, get to appreciate them that much more. I really don't want to hear them on the radio five times a day or hear people at the office talking about "my band" and how they managed to score tickets for $250.00 per seat. (how selfish of me!)

Re: Clearly Quite Absurd
We already hear the old stuff five times a day...imagine how they'd dominate the airwaves if they played the new stuff.

Re: Clearly Quite Absurd
True, the old stuff still does get quite a bit of airtime! I think the song MTV says it all. A station does an interview or a concert advert and then they play Hush or SOTW. At least that's all I hear in Massachusetts. They could at least play a new one. I predict someone 20 years old will re-record CQA and the radio stations will play the "great new song" to death!

Re: Clearly Quite Absurd
As with the Stones, whose complaints mirror Gillan's at times but who continue to play an oldie-dominated show, Deep Purple needs to put more new songs in their shows, period, or else they cannot fairly complain about being lumped in with "classic rock" / oldies. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...Put the songlist where your mouth is, Ian!!! Take some chances! Play SOTW, HS, and Hush, and then make the rest of the show Mork-Morse songs already.

I think he was just mocking what some DJ must have said. However, for the sake of historical accuracy, I shall yield.
