What no Ted Nugent?

[fourdeuce82d]

Ted Nugent?

Precisely. "Whang Dang Sweet Poontang" has deeply influenced my thoughts on when and how any daughters i have will date in their teens, twenties, or thirties.

They won't.

[King Prout]

"Rock actually helped lead the culture toward a healthier, happier paradigm of male-female relations,"

my BSometer just went "ka-BOOM!"

[The Scourge of Yazid]

I have two words for you.

RAY DAVIES!

[Mears]

Excuse me a moment,I think I'm going to be sick!!!!!!!

[Hildy]

Riley says Jagger's songs about women are more complex and tender than his treatment of women in real life.

I'm not waiting on a lady...I'm just waiting on a friend....

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

"Rock actually helped lead the culture toward a healthier, happier paradigm of male-female relations,"

Which explains why divorce, domestic abuse, and sexual assault are at all-time highs, and why the gulf between men and women has never been wider.

What world do these self-justifying idiots live in?

[weegee]

"Under My Thumb", "Stupid Girl", yeah, try a little tenderness.

"Rock actually helped lead the culture toward a healthier, happier paradigm of male-female relations,"

Just how many rock stars have had sexual relations with minors? I'm going broad with the term "rock" and "star". This includes R. Kelly and a member of Peter, Paul, and Mary. Add to that Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Michael Jackson(?) and others. Some "happier paradigm".

How old was Lisa Marie when she started going out with Elvis?

How many musicians are wife beaters? How many of them are former pimps?

[anonymous_user]

How old was Lisa Marie when she started going out with Elvis?

(Lisa Marie is his daughter. You're thinking of her mom, Priscilla, who started "dating" him at 14, and married him at 22.)

[weegee]

I stand corrected, but correct in my recollection about her age.

[KangarooJacqui]

Precisely. "Whang Dang Sweet Poontang" has deeply influenced my thoughts on when and how any daughters i have will date in their teens, twenties, or thirties. They won't.

Why do the words, "get th(y daughters) to a convent" run through my head when I read this?

Riley says the best rock 'n' roll music celebrated sexual openness, honored tolerance, individualism and social responsibility in a way that helped baby boomers become better partners and better parents.

Ugh. Barf alert is right. This guy must be a baby boomer or brain dead.

[freekitty]

Is this guy for real?

[Rockpile]

Come on now Jill Serjeant.

Little Richard is the prototype of a rock and roller.

[randog]

my BSometer just went "ka-BOOM!"

Yet more proof that sociology (as well as other -ologies) is merely a make-it-up-as-you-go-along sport.

Far from being pilloried as a destructive influence on American youth, Riley says the best rock 'n' roll music celebrated sexual openness, honored tolerance, individualism and social responsibility in a way that helped baby boomers become better partners and better parents.

So I guess according to this guy if it weren't for "Rock Stars" the baby boomers would have been even worse??

[IronJack]

How many musicians are wife beaters? How many of them are former pimps?

How many are or were junkies, cokeheads, speed freaks, burnouts, or drunks? How many are whorechasers, egomaniacs, sociopaths, and victims of arrested development?

If anyone is looking for role models, they could learn more from the janitor at the concert hall than they could from the headliners.
