Rock? Please!

There's a rock history thing on ABC right now. What a load of shit. May as well have called it "Let's Blow Smoke Up The Rolling Stone's Arse."

If you watched this doco, you'd have thought that the Stones invented rock-n-roll for WHITE people!

It's gone on for half an hour about the Rolling Stones. I AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE STONES.

This doco is ridiculous. First, it reckons that rock started in 1965, and it's mentioned neither Elvis NOR The Who. I can forgive them for not focusing on The Beatles as Beatles were more pop than Rock, but their influence is something one can't ignore in any rock history. They had such an impact on the industry that it shook it to its core.

Stupid fucking documentary.

ETA: They've mentioned Bob Dylan about four times now. Only NOW did someone mention The Beatles in passing. Now I'm stroppy!!

ETA2: STILL going on about The Stones! No mention of Jimi or Janis or Led Zep. *angry sigh*

While it's on my mind... Ain't Gonna Lie.

Neil Oliver?

Dead. Fucking. Sexy.

Thank you, ABC.

I am now cleansing my palette with a documentary about Dusty Springfield. And it's people that knew Dusty, and know something about music, that are talking about her. Like Burt fuckin' Bacharach. And they have lots of clips of Dusty speaking in interviews, and whole song clips and live performances. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I learnt so much about singing by listening to this woman sing.
