Thurston Moore says today's young musicians don't rock

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore tells Spin that older musicians such as Yoko Ono and Neil Young rock harder than younger acts like John Mayer and Avril Lavigne.

Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore has claimed that today's young musicians are so poor that 60-year-olds like Yoko Ono rock harder that they do. In an interview with Spin Magazine, the singer - who is set to play with the Youth later this week at London's Roundhouse - exclaimed: "I am playing with Yoko Ono, and she's well past 70 and she rocks. Neil Young rocks. It's certainly not John Mayer or Avril Lavigne. Those people don't rock.....the old guys are cool". So, that's all you young types told.
