Last Of The Rock Stars (And What Does That Mean, Anyway?)

“What defines a rock star in 2015? We could very well be at the point where genre transcends the very term. Do rappers count as rock stars? Kanye West and Jay-Z have a rock swagger, to some, as do both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Most modern country acts like you would see at RodeoHouston are more about sparkly jeans than starched Wranglers, trying to strike a rock pose all their own. That’s something rock purists shudder to think about.”
