So like a sucker I find myself short another five bucks. The thing is, I AM a woman musician with a rock band, and as we all are I am STARVED for any little crumb of recognition that real women rockers might be thrown. Maybe it’s naive of me to expect any glimmer of rock’n’roll credibility OR respect for women from a magazine whose cover shot is regularly a naked underweight actress. Yes, Britney has a talented stylist and yes, somebody gave Shakira a Guns & Roses t-shirt to wear.but they ARE NOT NOW NOR WILL THEY EVER BE ROCK. There is nothing necessarily wrong with the breast-baring models inside.but we all understand that they have NOTHING TO DO WITH SPORTS - Which just might be offensive to women who are interested in sports or who might even be (gasp) real athletes. Your poor choice of cover girls and featured artists brings to mind the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions. Give a girl some tight pants and a spiky bracelet and POOF! She ROCKS!
I tried to find some cleverly worded way to express my disgust with your “Women in Rock” issue, but what i have to say is really quite simple: You guys are completely retarded.īy RS standards, Rock is no longer a style of music but a trendy costume to be whipped up by expensive stylists and slapped onto the latest pop tart barbie doll. Please forward it to all the rocking people you know!!!!!) (This letter was written to rolling stone after their “women in “rock” issue was published, but was not printed by their editors.
