My favorite comment:
For rock music to survive people just need to keep playing it. It doesn't matter who they are, and it never has.
That's the spirit. Hey, beyond the female ax handlers (guitartists) try and look at the multitude of female drummers. Some are awesome and have exactly the old spirit of rock and roll without any testosterone. If anyone needed testosterone it would seem drummers did, but they don't.
Look at some of the high quality blues guitarists which are female. There are several known and I'm sure others being overlooked. They are really worthwhile musicians.
There was a NYT article last year sometime saying, "women are making the best rock music today". I would if not agree at least not argue the point much.
Now rock music was nearly or maybe as a mainstream medium has been killed by corporate marketing. Which means what is left actually has more freedom to continue what rock music was about. The bands are out there even if they aren't making FooFighters money or getting the recognition the horrid rap/hip hop/bull shite music is. Reminds me of the semi-autobiographical movie Almost Famous.
No electricity (invented by Muddy Waters you know), but some other assets.
