: "School Of Rock"?........
: thought it was strange......
...I don't think the Stones were either. Were they?
It seemed like the musical reference points in the movie only went as far back as the late seventies or so. I only saw the movie once and I'm going from memory, though. Plus 'rock' (sans roll) didn't really come into it's own until the very late sixties.
Then again I do remember Jimi getting namechecked...
Ah hell, who knows?
I would guess most people don't think of the Beatles as 'rock'. I don't.
