Who Put the Cock in Rock?
Article by Juliana Tringali, Illustrated by Nicholas Brawley, appeared in issue Masculinity; published in 2005; filed under Music; tagged beauty standards, groupies, hair bands, heavy metal, masculinity, misogyny, rock, Rolling Stone, women in rock.

cock rock: To some, the term conjures up images of rock gods in white jumpsuits, long hair haloed by a rainbow of lights, fans waving their Bics in unison as an immaculate guitar solo screams out from a tower of amps. To others, it evokes backstage legends of drugs and debauchery, the triumph of malecentric hedonism over social conscience, the unapologetic celebration of sleaze. To still others, it’s shorthand for memorable riffs with a backbeat that makes you want to throw some devil horns and bang your head.
