Apparently I'm feeling bull-headed today (this is the second "yeah, but" I've posted in 5 minutes), because (and I'm sure this is NOT the point that was being made) I have totally bemoaned the male-dominated-ness of rock bands. Why is it so common as to be unremarkable that a whole lot of the big-name bands (and a whole lot of the local/regional ones, as well) are all-male? I don't attribute it to a talent gap, of course. I think it's more likely an effect of music-scene culture.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Reasonably well-known means he's heard of them. It's beyond his depth to think that maybe he's completely ignorant of popular music. Adele has been sitting at the top of iTunes forever with Rolling in the Deep, and she plays just about everything.

Art Crawl!!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apart from singers, those with romantic involvement with boy(s) in the band and members of all-girl groups, can you think of even one reasonably well known female rock musician?
WTF's wrong with all-girl groups? You don't think Janet Weiss could drum for any group in America? Or Dee Plakas (L7) for that matter? Or Kate Schellenbach (Luscious Jackons, also original drummer for the muthafuckin Beastie boys)? And that's just drummers.

Oh yeah, it is very male-dominated. Rookie had a piece last month on how to buy a guitar that was wonderful.

Y'all, I think Loki has forsaken me for his new girlfriend. The two of them have been upstairs playing pretty much since I got home.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh. Oh. I wanted to go town about Kate Schellenbach. There's an adorable vid of her and Yauch and I think Mike D. playing on some local talent show when they were zygotes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You people keep naming singers. He said no singers!
