I mean, you can "rock" like a shit band called Cowboy Mouth, and if the audience supports you you can tour and tour and tour endlessly.
I do not see that happening for the current hip hop acts, but maybe we will see them at the county fair like we see foghat, Peter Cetera, or in the future Sonic Youth?

I saw Bob Freaking Dylan headline a county fair in Washingon and it was crazy good. Thousands and thousands of people. Not all of them are sad pathetic little piece of shit concerts. Casinos are the real losers' circuit, where you'll see Richard Marx and shit.
Sonic Yourh are not popular enough to headline a really big county fair. Not by a long shot. So I strongly doubt we're going to have to worry about that in the future, especially since the chances of Thurston and Kim patching things up seem to grow slimmer by the day. Also, county fairs are huge money makers for the area. I don't think anyone would pick Sonic Youth as an act for something that's supposed to be enjoyable for the whole family.
