Ann 1Which Rock Star Are You?
November 29th 2006 06:18
It is widely believed that Rock stars are desirable, cool, creative, but popular types that some of us fantasize either meeting or being or both, if you will.
Think back to your childhood, who were those types? For me, with my baby booming parents it would have been greats like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Elton John, Neil Young, Van Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. I cannot say that I would have ever desired Elton John, but there is one in every crowd.
When I was old enough to think for myself, I discovered other musicians like The Cure, U2, Pearl Jam, Men At Work and Crowded House. Yes a child of the 80’s I was set for some quality taste in music! (j/k)
I grew up playing the clarinet for all of my high school education. I guess I was looking for a bigger recorder, or something else
. Seriously, it was a lot of fun being a part of complex sounding concert band. It was very similar to play as the trumpet and we had a lot of the same parts to play, except clarinets are not as loud.
Once drunk at a house party, I started playing somebody’s drum kit. I was told afterward how good I was considering I had never picked up the sticks in my life before that. So, that is definitely my Rock star dream, to be the drummer. Sure I could always join some local community group and busk with a triangle, but it would not have the same finish or respect.
So I have selected some Rock Gods for you to contest with, who would be if your dreams came true?
The Beatles
Cute haircuts, neat suits and a head bang that would make a pigeon jealous, these guys certainly swarmed the world like any insect would. Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison knew about your Hard Day’s Night. Have you noticed similarities today, like with Jet, The Killers and The Strokes? The Beatles are back in different shades, that’s for sure!
The Rolling Stones
Just secretly, my father idolises Mick Jagger. After seeing him perform recently at Telstra Stadium, he talks about him ALL the time. I can understand that, him and Peter Garratt (lead singer of Midnight Oil) have the most unique dance style out there.
Jimi Hendrix
If I was an aspiring guitarist, of course I would be tempted to smash my most prized possession to pieces on stage too. Hell, I would just like to have to gone to Woodstock and party with my parents generation, rather than be in the imitating crowd of the now.
Elvis
Labelled so frequently as a God, Im not too sure if he classifies as Rock as he does as a pop star or folk star. Well known for his knee bending, heartbreaking and Blue Suede shoes who wouldn’t want to be Elvis?
