Is it true that two subjects joined by AND are always plural? Or are there possible exceptions to this rule? If so can some one please explain the exception and its usage.

"And" can be in a singular subject when that subject is considered a single thing (rock and roll, macaroni and cheese) or when it is part of the title of something (like a book or movie).
