We know. You've heard this one before. This time though, she thinks the rise of technology and a musical middle class, as well as, the destruction of rock and roll mythology, has killed it… for good. Crossfield isn't alone. Jay Frank, SVP of Music Strategy at CMT, [thinks so](http://blog.futurehitdna.com/archives/840?ref=hypebot.com) too. It no longer sells. Disagree? Head over to Music Think Tank and [tell Crossfield why](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/how-technology-killed-rock-and-roll.html?ref=hypebot.com) you think rock is still kicking.
