New exhibit showcasing female performers opening tomorrow at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
The hall of fame had toyed with the idea of opening such an exhibit for years, and it gained traction after Cyndi Lauper paid a visit last year and watched a film about the roots of rock, said Jim Henke, vice-president of exhibitions and curatorial affairs.

"She thought it was too male-dominated," Henke says, "and she wondered where the female artists were."
My first three rock artists (leaving out the vocal harmony people) were Fats Domino, Laverne Baker, and Elvis.

Thoughts?

Of breasts and guitars

Well, as a guitar player, who is quite endowed on the top half, just simply playing your guitar can be uncomfortable and require some adjustments. Unless you can literally play your guitar so low that it hits your knees, you probably need to wear your guitar somewhere around your hips to waist. If you have double DDs for example, the guitar strap either has to squeeze right in between your breasts, or over one of them, causing a bit of a squish, if you will. Your breasts then are either extremely obvious with the guitar strap nestled in between them as you play, or, your breast hurts because it is being suffocated as you belt out how much you love rock and roll. It’s tough being a girl, and all we wanna do is have fun. (Sorry, couldn’t resist that.)

Ok, you say. So, why don’t you just play sitting down then? Great question!MORE

Hey, this seems apropos, the Melbourne Arts Centre - Rock Chicks exhibition is on now. :-) It's a free exhibit specifically focused on Aussie Rock Chicks - which they're defining as a lot broader than just "rock" music, and it sounds like it's not just focused on "teh sexay". :-) I haven't gone yet, but plan to. Edit: link fixed to be an actual nice link. :-)
