Girls Can't Play Rock Guitar

I have been playing rock guitar for over 35 years now, but still get the helpless little female attitude whether I am setting up for a show  either getting heckled by the early drunks glued to a bar stool watching and making snide remarks asking if I know what I'm doing or when I go into music stores. Particularly Guitar Center.
Not to mention the occasional drunken male who gets in my face during a show trying to distract me.
I have read Joan Jett was pretty much encouraged to take up a more "girly" instrument while still in school and The Heart sisters took a lot of crap too.
Really nothing has much changed in all these years though some incredibly good female guitarist have been around for ages with more coming along. I have see 12 year old girls doing hard core male rocker songs on guitar and sound better than they do. It's not brain surgery.
I am sure I am not the only one out there currently facing this same kind of discriminatory treatment and would love to hear stories from others who have.
I will have to add a few here when I drop back in.
You can find my song "Girls Can't Play Rock Guitar" by Slippery When Wet on all the major streaming sites. And drop me a comment if you have dealt with this attitude. I'd love to hear your story

Young Studs In Black Leather: That's What I Want

About the only thing other than my old friends I miss about living in Chicago is all the black leather clad guys.
In fact I miss that so much I couldn't resist writing a song about it just to reminisce.
I am now in relentlessly hot, sunny AZ.  Unless it's a local Harley chapter I am lucky enough to catch roaring past, I don't see very much else in the way of men in  black leather anything and cowboy boots just don't do it for me.


Anyway, I also did an animated photo blog and was surprised at the big turnout I received after putting out the word I was looking for men of all ages posing in black leather garb to exploit  err I mean put into it.
I continued getting more photos long after I had already finished and released the video. Perhaps one day I shall do another including some new fresh leather clad stud muffins for all our viewing pleasure.
So if you are looking for some male eye candy, click above and enjoy. I'm always willing to share ; )

Yes 18 to 80. Bald, skinny, fat or crazy, I love them all.
