On the one hand, he's right. The men sing like girls.

On the other hand, the "rage" he longs for is just infantile. Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain were not manly. They were neglected infants wailing from their cribs.

Rock and roll does NOT have to be angry. That's just total nonsense. Actually, in the early days, rock and roll was about WINNING, not about angst.

Rock & Roll is based on rebellion, it’s a middle finger to the status quo. Unfortunately after the initial wave of 60s & 70s rock, late 70s punk, early 90s grunge/punk, nobody is shocked anymore. Kids aren’t going to be drawn to the same music their parents are listening to and rock is on life support at the moment.

Early rock and roll was heavily rooted in the blues.
The blues were not about winning. ;)
