RAMBLE ON: "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park
Steven Hyden once wrote something he called the “Winner’s History of Rock,” arguing that rock history tends to be written by (and for) the losers; critics lionize the outsiders, the marginalized, the rebels and outcasts, and they neglect rock’s “winners,” the commercial juggernauts belov...
