reverse causality

Critics of glam rock:

For a genre derided in part for its largely misogynistic attitude toward women, glam rock also spawned the greatest number of female guitar players: Girlschool, Vixen. Note these are actual musicians, not some pretty face.

Probably this is true for other genres as well, I don't know. But good lord they can play, they look great too, an it's odd how guitar players evoke this feeling of slavish adoration: I want you to rock me oh yes!

Yeah you guitar players do evoke feelings of slavish admiration don't you?
Love the video - especially how animated the crowd is at the live performance. Some of them even bobbed their heads!

its a cool song! the song is obviously recorded in studio though its not live

actually going on a different path

have you ever wondered why movies are 2 hours long (3 hours if bollywood), books 200 pages long, songs 3.5 minutes long (usually with an instrumental break 3/4th the way through)?

it's odd...

btw that crowd sure looked like a lot of fun.
