I make a new scene, create a light, any light press R and it doesn't rotate the beam of light at all. I am sure I have rotated lights before. Is there something I am missing?

see if you have 'Manipulate Center Points' checked on. If so, turn it off.

ps:Point Lights don't rotate.

You can restore factory settings (File>Load Factory Settings). If you have a customized startup and don't want to loose it, can you post your configuration files? (http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/23338/where-is-the-startup-file-stored) – Secrop Mar 06 '17 at 01:09

The only visual clue that the sun is rotating is a thin dotted line showing the direction. – sambler Mar 06 '17 at 07:15
