For starters, you must understand that Denis Leary is a rock 'n' roll fan. It doesn't take much to get him weighing in on the Clash record that means the most to him or the merits of John Lennon's final album . But Leary's rock 'n' roll immersion goes much deeper. Decades of his own brand of stardom as an actor and stand-up comic have found him rubbing elbows with rock gods like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. However, he never saw himself as a rock star. But now he's having a blast playing one on his new comedy, "Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll," for which, as with his previous series, "Rescue Me," he not only serves as leading man but also creator, executive producer and writer (as well as having co-written the songs). It premieres Thursday at 10 p.m. EDT on FX.
