I was reading this seasons issue of RockrGrl, and came across a section titled "Open Letter to Rolling Stone", where the editors of RockrGrl commented on a rolling stone issue which was called "Women in Rock special issue" and had Shakira, Britney Spears, and Mary J Blige on the cover.
It's so true, I just hafta post it
I tried to find some cleverly worded way to express my disgust to your "Women in Rock" issue, but what I have to say is really quite simple: You guys are completely retarded.
By Rolling Stone 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. Give some girl some tight pants and a spiky bracelet and POOF! She ROCKS!
Your poor choice of cover girls and featured artists brings to mind the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions. 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 althletes.
Yes, Britney has a talented stylist, and yes, somebody gave Shakira a Guns n Roses t-shirt to wear, but THEY ARE NOT NOW NOR WILL THEY EVER BE ROCK.
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. 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. So like a sucker I find myself short another five bucks and pissed enough to write my first letter to the editor.
Avril Lavigne gets some studded accessories from Hot Topic so now she's "upholding the brazen traditions of teenage rage"??!!! Are you SERIOUS? And could someone please explain to me why people keep insisting on referring to Pink as rock? Wasn't she just doing the white girl hip hop thing a minute ago? Yeah, she performed on the Aerosmith tribute show. Big Deal. She was on the Janet Jackson tribute show just before that. Whatever's trendy. WHO CARES. She's a spice girl reject... but I digress.
Jewel and Mandy friggin' Moore have full page features as Rock Icons.. meanwhile Joan Jett gets one line. ONE LINE. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, who have never stopped touring, recently did 10 days in the Middle East playing for troops stationed in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, Joan would come onstage wearing a birkha, which she ripped off and stomped on before blazing through the purest and nastiest rock show anywhere. But even in the RS "Women in Rock" issue, a story like that gets ONE SENTENCE on the bottom of the last page of Random Notes. Britney's Rock Credentials? Well, she butchers the song " I Love Rock N Roll" on her latest record and when asked about it, the genius replies "Well, i've always loved Pat Benatar." And SHE is your rock issue cover girl??!!
You should really be embarrassed. Sleater-Kinney was the only rock group listed on the cover and all they got was half a page. Ashanti, the R&B back up singer who cant seem to do anything without "Featuring Ja Rule" has 2 pages. What about The Donnas? The Yeah Yeah Yeahs? The Distillers? A magazine like RS has the power to shine important light on groups like these, instead they are afterthoughts, and that valuable sportlight is wasted on the same overexposed pop princesses WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ROCK.
In your own letter from the editor, you have the hypocritical balls to say "rock radio wont touch female artists, while the pop factory keeps churning out sound-alike clones, and ambitious musicians with something to say find themselves left out in the cold." The pages that follow those words are a blatant display that Rolling Stone magazine is happily working for the factory now too.
If the issue had been called "women in music" or maybe "some cute girls with top 10 records out right now" I would have no beef with it. Corny as it may sound, rock is something which is still meaningful and even sacred to some of us. Use the word "rock" in bold letters next to a picture of Britney Fucking Spears and you're turning your whole publication into a joke... and an offensive joke at that.
--Maya Price."
Right on.

Monday night was Matteo's last day of work. It was really the first time we had really talked ever at work, and it was really only because I was closing and no one else was there that late. It was still good none the less. He told me that he, Chris, Juan and Rob had all agreed that I have the best ass. After I heard that I tied my jacket around my waist for the rest of the night, it was very disturbing, lol.
I just ate a whole box of macaroni and cheese and now my stomach hurts. Bah.
Work today really really sucked. I guess we were kinda short for people, so me, Jen and someone on grill only got 15 minutes, but everyone else got a full half hour. It's illegal to get only a 15 minute break if you work over 6 or more hours, I know this because my dad is the vice president of some Work Union tells me this shit over and over again, lol. And this 15 minute break shit happens alot. I was really annoyed. And then later on I asked to smoke a ciggerette. They had plenty of people, and it wasnt busy at all, so they told me I could go. I wasn't out there for more than 3 minutes, then some more people went in so I thought they might need me, so I put out my ciggerette and went back in. The first thing the shift manager said to me was "You should've come in sooner!"
Grr. She should've given me a half hour break like I'm legally required to have.
I really need a new job. I rreeeaaallly need a new job. Just until I move. It sucks tho, cuz nowhere near where I live would hire me if I dyed my hair and all that shit that I wanna do. Man, this SUCKS. Everyday there are more reasons to get the fuck out.
Oh oh oh. But good stuff happened today too. The cute guy in the red car came thru drive thru so I got to show him to Jen. lol. That's what sucks in a way. I would miss alot of people, like Jen, Kevin, Danielle, Jackie, Adam and everyone else.
I get my paycheck tomarrow and its already half gone and I dont even have it yet. It's about 200$ and 40 of it goes to my cable bill, 30 of it goes to my sisters birthday present cuz her birthday is next wednesday, then another 30 on my internet bill. Then I need to get a new cd player, and the Audioslave cd, and ciggerettes and a whole bunch of other shit.
Nirvana listeners: I read an article on the song "You know you're right" and the author wrote that the lyrics go "nothing really bothers her, she just wants to love herself" and I thought they were "nothing really bothers her, she just wants to love and sell" which the hell is it?

They're right. Grunge is a really stupid word. Why do they even have to pick apart every single thing about rock? Journalists are dumb.
I really wish no one was home so I could jump around my house and rock out, cuz this "news special" has gotten me all excited.

I was feeling shitty after work, but watching Goo Goo Dolls Storytellers makes me feel better.
And one day down, two more to go til two days off.
After my first one, I'm feelin the urge to get another tattoo, lol. I almost seriously considered getting Robby's name tattooed on me, before I realized that was way too extreme for me. Perhaps I'll get one of his songs on my back or something.
I really love the Vanessa Carlton song "Ordinary Day", it makes me wanna spin in circles in some huge field somewhere. lol
I got a letter from the ACLU today, which I'm very excited about joining, of course, my mother being the complete BITCH that she is, was mocking the letter they sent me with her annoying condescending voice. I cant stand her.
And god dammit, Robby is MINE!!! lol sorry, had to throw that in there

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
Believe
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
we're not the same, we're different tonight
tonight, so bright
tonight
and you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
if you hold yourself up to the light
and the embers never fade
in your city by the lake
the place where you were born
believe, believe in me, believe
Believe
in the resolute urgency of now
and if you believe theres not a change tonight
tonight, so bright, tonight
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
the impossible is possible tonight
believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
