Rock music or anykind of music related to youth wasn't a red carpet affair. That's where MTV comes in. Pop music or rock music or whatever is now cross-bred with Hollywood glamour, which to me is, and I hate to borrow this term, 'establishment'. I can't imagine The Clash, Ramones, etc. arriving for the MTV Video awards back in their heydays the way these new.....um...'artists' do. It's just lame-o. I mean, I know Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Janes Addiction, etc. might have walked the red carpet at one point or another, but now that whole thing is just blown up to a sickening degree and is expected of all 'artists'. Avril Lavigne...punk rock? Lenny Kravitz...'rock star'? I think not.
