This weeks readings were definitely interesting ones to say the least. I think I learned a lot reading about how all the "social conflicts" with rock that people who performed in that type of music had to deal with. I think that with them being related to the devils work it wasn't easy for them to play their music the way they wanted too. That's what I think is a big point too, I feel that society held rock down for a long time because they felt it was to aggressive for their liking but in reality people are making songs just like that just with a slower beat and a softer voice. For example one of the biggest songs on the charts right now is suicidal by YNW Melly who is a huge artist and is known for making his songs really dark he talks about a girl hurting him to the point of suicide. I just thought that was an interesting perspective to look at for the first reading of rock and roll.To the response of the other reading of pop and how they have pushed out the feminist side of artists I agree I think that for a while it was hard for women to be able to make a name for themselves and that wasn't very fair. When I think of pop and a female artist who put them on the map for that I think about how Lil Kim and how she had a really big influence on putting them out there and showing that female artists have a say too.
