My first name is a Rolling Stones song and my middle name is a Beatles song, so it was only destiny that I would be a huge classic rock fan.
I started The Diversity of Classic Rock when I was 20 as part of a school assignment. I loved writing it so much that I kept going. Besides classic rock, I love travelling, photography, vintage clothing, and food.
Ever since I was a teenager I loved classic rock and the fashions of the 60s and 70s. When I do something, I put my all into it and I'm very genuine. Not only do I listen to classic rock pretty much all day, I dress like it's still the 60s and 70s. People have said I look like I came out of a time machine.
I started this blog because I want to show that classic rock really is diverse, not only in sound, but also in the backgrounds of the musicians. I don't only talk about the hits and a-sides, I also talk about the deep cuts and obscurities. Enjoy!
