Writer's Block: Legends of Rock

[aislincalum]

Excuse me?!  Hold the bus, people.

WHY IN THE HELL ARE WE PUTTING EFFING HANNAH MONTANA ON PAR WITH WOODSTOCK!?

I would like to hear a reasonable explanation for this ridiculous question.

I'm waiting...

...

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Dunno. I've never been to either so I'm not sure that either would qualify as a legendary experience. How was the Hannah Montana thing?

[aislincalum]

Who knows. You couldn't pay me to go to that. I don't doubt that she sold out every venue she played and/or made a bazillion dollars, but I don't think that bears any weight on the Woodstock movement.

[henwy]

There's no way to tell. No one really knew Woodstock's impact until ages after the fact. There were plenty of other open air concerts that took place during the same general time and they've often been forgotten to the ages. Maybe in 30 years, everyone will talk about the impact that Hannah Montana had on the generation.

[aislincalum]

I'm sure there were. Woodstock was legendary, even shortly after the fact. Hannah Montana is a child star, who managed to follow in her father's footsteps and extend her 15 minutes of fame. I say good for her, but she is not epic, by any standard.

It terms of it being a transformative experience for the people who attended it, I would say the Hannah Montana concert deserves to be in that list. It came to my hometown and the streets were full of young girls who were basically having religious experiences by the look of it--and that is BEFORE they even got in the venue! Where, I assume, a young virgin was sacrificed to the god of disney...

Here via Henwy's friend list--your blog looks interesting, mind if I add it?

[aislincalum]

My assumption would be the same.

Feel free. :)

I'm 100% with you on this one. That was nearly my exact reaction when I read the prompt.

A factory produced teen star is now a legendary musician?!? That's almost as lame as saying Avril is punk-rock... People suck ;0)

[aislincalum]

I KNEW you'd agree with me!
