I remember moments sitting there in the audience wondering where all the riffs and licks being belted out originated. I remember the wild applause. I remember coveting their attentions otherwise as well.
So today is Women Rock Day. It is held each January 3 to honor the women of Rock music and to take note of them in all their glory !
While I hear mention of these women being pioneers of their art I prefer to simply refer to them as veterans and I will always take a moment to hear them out.
Women Rock !
