Verily indeed, he was a truly dedicated headbanger
Hi Shinkicker!
It was the title that made me want to read this one.
I'm pretty sure that Shakespeare was considered as we do a rock star in his time.
The Shakesperian language you use here is hilarious.
'Sonnet' is my favourite song by The Verve. I might include it, if I do another music Hub.
An entertaining read!
All the best, Camlo
Another good hub, I was thinking of writing one about how songs would have been different if they were written today and am still collecting the definative list. Eg, Bluray killed the DVD star by Buggles. Or Hanging on my mobile phone by Blonde.
That would make a great Hub knell63. The Move song 'Blackberry Way' takes on new meaning. I like 'Sonnet' too Camlo, wonderful song.

I didn't realise shakespeare was a rock fan, or that rock was even invented during that period. But I guess you learn something new every day right... :P
