I should...I thought about that after I posted this. I should have clarified: I was thinking more along the lines of rock criticism and the more hardcore kinds of fans, where women are underrepresented. Not being a music, or a music writer in a professional setting, I can only speak as a fan.KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319865543116751911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018383953625619251.post-6184216554372015002010-08-10T16:09:58.072-05:002010-08-10T16:09:58.072-05:00I do agree that women are less interested in valid...I do agree that women are less interested in validity. They like what they like and if some critic doesn't like it, big deal. A good example would be Melissa Etheridge fans. I believe Rolling Stone named her the worst rock act of 1993. Did her fans care? Nope.<br /><br />It removes them from the intellectual sphere if you consider rock music to be an intellectual sphere. There is certainly some intellectual rock music (Dylan), but, for the most part, it's misogynistic boy/men wailing pathetically about some woman they can't fuck while simulating masturbation on a guitar. I love rock music but the Algonquin Round Table it's not.<br /><br />I certainly wish there were more women who rocked my socks off but like you say, most women in rock are 'one of the guys' types and the patriarchy tells women they need to stay 'fuckable' and feminine.ebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420158428882932160noreply@blogger.com
