just because you haven't heard of him or his name isn't a clever name like roger daltry doesn't mean he's not one.
perhaps the fact you haven't heard about him reveals the problem behind your whining for rock stars.
either way, i participated in your *search* and provided an answer, accept it or not.

Define 'rock star'? Someone who people have HEARD OF. WHO is this guy? I won't even Google for him. Is he in a band? How many records has he sold? CDs or downloads or whatever? Magazine covers? MTV videos? Tonight Show appearances? Has he hosted SNL? Does he wear outrageous costumes and sells out Madison Square Garden on his 80 night mega-tour?
C'mon man, I'm not asking for good musicians or people with talent, I agree they are out there. I mean there hasn't been a significant, soceity-shifting, generation-changing ROCK STAR to come along since 1990's at the latest, and even THEY were pale imitaters compared to Robert Plant, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
It's not that I'm old (barely 40), it's not that I'm out-of-touch (I live in NYC, the Center of the Media Universe), it's just that I'm so SAD people seem to have given up on rock music. Those that still create it are in their sixties and seventies!! The Black Sabbath "reunion" is great but those cats are in their mid-SIXTIES. Where's the next YOUNG Ozzy Osbourne?
Maybe your guy is it but he'd better do a better job of reaching Mega-Stardom 'cause I shouldn't have to ask "Who is he?"
(Thanks for answering tho! LOL)
PS: The Black Keys ain't "rock stars". At best their alternative musicians but not 'rock stars' in the trad sense. Grammys mean shit. LOL
