News flash! Rolling Stone discovers that women can rock

Incredible. Who would have thought?

Among many other delights this link promises, you can vote for:

• The fiercest albums that female musicians have given the world
• Which woman will rock a future Rolling Stone cover (imagine that! A woman on the front of Rolling Stone!)

And, of course, enjoy a gallery of Women Who Rock

… and people claim that rock is inherently sexist! I’m looking forward to the doubtless inevitable follow-up issue, Men Who Rock – assuming, that is (as Hannah Golightly points out), they can find 85 men who actually satisfy that criteria.

P.S. I’m really not sure Karmin rocks.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
