I'm A Little Bit Country

[Dravyk]

Rap, yuck. Rock has lost it's edge.

You know, with rock ... how many female rockers can you think of? Last few years, Avril is about it. Recent pop? Maybe five, ten tops. Ok, back to rock how about over the course of the last three decades? Pat Benatar, Chrissy Hines, Joan Jett ... a few others.

I look at country and it's like, wow, 50% women! And yes they play the guitar and do keyboards and sing.

As to rock and country ... Bruce Springsteen often has had a country edge to many of his songs, ditto Bon Jovi. Bob Seeger obviously. ZZ Top, country influence. That's what I'm hearing a LOT more with the country stuff -- yet the other way around! It seems to be almost gone in rock these days. U2 being one of the very few exceptions of recent note.
