rock showmanship dead?
« on: August 22, 2008, 01:57:00 pm »
"It's not, heaven knows, that I'm pining for the permanent return of Axl Rose. Not all rock showmanship is created equal. Yet since the very beginning â?? since Chuck Berry duckwalked; since Mick Jagger strutted; since Jim Morrison exposed himself; since Iggy Pop mutilated himself â?? rock stardom has been synonymous with charisma, for better and worse.
 
 Today, however, such behavior has become highly suspect. It has come under the same acidic mistrust and scrutiny that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have brought to bear on traditional journalistic etiquette, and for a similar reason: Young people are ... so over that stuff. "
