Not much to tell really. I'm not all that into modern stuff with a few exceptions, IMO George Harrison's death marked the end of an era for rock. It seems to be getting fixed though. Been playing for five years, only been serious about three though. My biggest influences are blues guys old enough to be my grandfather, so I'm a literal slowhand. Really. I can only get the dexterity for faster songs by spending some quality stretching time.
