'School Of Rock' is a great film – and one of the best rock 'n' roll movies ever. It was too much to hope that it might be left as just that.
Today tickets are being offered for the 'School Of Rock - The Musical' on stage in London. A musical version of a perfect musical film? But wait. It gets worse. It's by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I am old enough to remember the release of the 'Jesus Christ Superstar' album and its being talked about as a 'rock opera'. It was neither an opera nor rock music.
With 'Superstar' and everything that followed, in among the padding there was usually a memorable show tune. But Lloyd Webber must be a contender for the man least likely to ever have any kind of connection with the spirit of rock.
