Never criticize someone else until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Then, when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away from them and you will have their shoes.

Being a foreigner, i.e. not an english speaker, I'd like to know the difference between these two words ; I thought they were synonims. I'm curious.

In current parlance, they're essentially synonymous. For example: the songs "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston, "I'm Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band) by The Moody Blues, etc; the website http://www.classicbands.com (focusing on "rock and roll bands," etc. Rock and roll singers may have co-opted the word, but nowadays, they're pretty well interchangeable.
One definition of "band," though, is "instrumentalists not including string players," which is entirely consistent with what Vinnie said; if you don't count strings, you're not going to get many rock groups in there! Other definitions, though, are less specific "A group of musicians who form an ensemble," "A group of musicians playing popular music for dancing," and, the one that includes just about EVERYONE, "A group of people."

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |
