Rock Bitch
My tenant this week from Blog Explosion is Rock Bitch. Interesting name, no? She seems like the real-deal, folks. She's certainly a lot more hard core about rock music than I ever was. Even as a high school kid I wasn't into bands and their music like she is. Here's a paragraph from her description of herself:
How's that for sticking to the great bands? And don't get the idea that she's a one way street here. She's got other interests also although not always pure. For one thing, she professes a passion for dirty martinis with fat ass olives--but vodka martinis! I don't know about the "fat-ass olives" but in some circles adding vodka to a martini is considered sacriledge. LOL
On a more serious note, Rock Bitch is in her late 30s and is studying Business Administration--a degree I also have--while working full time at a flooring company and doing a PT gig at a rock oriented radio station. She also had a brush with ovarian cancer. Since my boss is an oncology surgeon and my research is directed at breast cancer I focus on cancer a lot in my non-blogging life. Obviously Rock Bitch does also--but she had no choice in that.
Rock Bitch's favorite band is the Rolling Stones and the following are her favorite 5 songs by them:
1. Gimme Shelter
2. Sympathy For the Devil
3. Satisfaction
4. You Can’t Always Get What You Want
5. Brown Sugar
What do you think? Personally I'd put Sympathy for the Devil atop the list and have You Can't Always Get What You Want at number two. Every time I hear the second one it reminds me of the funeral scene in The Big Chill. I love that movie--and the soundtrack!
Rock Bitch's blog has a great design and it's so organized. Each post is in one or more catagories so you can pull up just the type of posts you want. And not surprising, given the name of her blog, the two most frequent posts are about bitching and rock and roll. Bitching has 35 posts listed and rock and roll has 18. At least we know which has priority in her blog, though I suspect the music is more important in her life. Then again, like Jeff Goldblum's character said in The Big Chill: I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex. And while that may seem like a non sequitur--I love the line and once I mentioned The Big Chill I just had to slip it in. Sorry!
I worship my iPod and view my car as a moving stereo…Classic Rock and Blues are my gig. The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream top my list of rock gods. Coco Taylor, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Taj Mahal…just a few of my blues gods. Let me throw some other favorites out…John Hiatt, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Savoy Brown, Aerosmith, Metallica…the list is endless. I am a true ROCK BITCH.

I think my favorite Stones songs are Wild Horses and Ruby Tuesday.

Side note... In all honesty, I didn't care for Reagan, either. What's funny about your comment was that back in the late eighties or so, Bazaar magazine listed Nancy Reagan as one of the 100 most beautiful women in America. I remember thinking, "ew."
All those Stone's songs are great but I tend to like the go-wild dance music over the ballads so I would put Satisfaction on the top of the list. :)
BTW, your blog rocks!
I'm going to have to check out your tenant - she sounds interesting!

You are sure giving Rock Bitch a terrific send-off and well deserved at that! I am going to say Hi to her when I leave here...
When I read all the songs and bands I know how old I am...I know the names but not the songs!! "The Big Chill" I know, of course...My love of music is ever present but just never seemed to encompass much 'rock', at all..So, there you go...(lol)
Thanks for such an awesome right up and for allowing me to rent space here. Yes, I do indeed love the Rolling Stones. It was a difficult task making up a list of my top 40.
Thanks for sending everyone over...I'll be sure to make them all feel welcomed as only a Rock Bitch can ;)

I can't speak much for rock music; it's never been my thing. I'm one of those annoying pop music people (or even worse, Barry Manilow back in his hey-day). Or better yet, I really prefer contemporary Christian.
