logansrogueThere'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*
