The Lynx official website is currently selling tickets to a Nickelback concert at their very own Lynx Stadium on July 5. That's right--butt-rock pioneer Chad Kroeger (a.k.a. Canadian Jesus) is all set to rock the house of Lou Collier, Jim Rushford, and Eude Brito. Plus he's bringing Daughtry and Puddle of Mudd along with him.A concert given by Canada's biggest band a day after the Fourth of July might mean something if there were a single Canadian on the Lynx. Thankfully, this entire situation is a skillful compromise. The Lynx get to celebrate America's independence by starting a five-day road trip in Rochester, while Canadians and middle-aged dads the world over get to enjoy songs written while Kroeger was screwing around on his Flickr account.

do you think i could get a quick definition of "butt-rock"?
In layman's terms: generic rock music with a "mature-sounding" male vocal (i.e. the lead singer's vocal chords are permanently set to "growl") and overwrought, serious-sounding lyrics. It is characterized by a relative lack of musical virtuosity, but the simple structure of its songs are pleasing to many an ear. Creed and Nickelback are often identified as the pioneers of this genre.
I really, really mean to write a thesis on this someday.
you should create a wikipedia article in the meantime.
