Rock Stars

Today I was at the Kage doing my weekly show Funkiness in the City, when I started thinking about how awesome some rockstars really are. When some people start thinking about rock stars, they think low life, skumbags who don't do anything but sit around and do drugs and other awesome things. But the truth is, successful rockstars are very passionate about their work. How can someone make such good music if they are the lazy ass everyone thinks they are? I guess some rock stars didn't really go to much schooling, but who says you are smart if you go to college? Some of my friends who are in school are still pretty damn stupid. Now i would like to dive deeper into the kick ass smart guys who can really rock.

There are two Rock Stars that I have recently found out are, in fact, briliant. The first of which is Rivers Cuomo. He is the lead singer of my favorite band, Weezer. Rivers is not only a briliant song writer but he also graduated with a masters in English from Harvard. Rivers is not a Rock Star who wanted all the fame just for being a popstar writer. He wants to be known like the classical composers such as Mozart or Beethoven.

The next, even smarter Rock Star is Bryan "Dexter" Holland. He is the lead singer of another very good band The Offspring. Dexter actually gained his nickname for being so smart. He was the valedictorian of his high school and went on the gain a Ph.D in Microbiology from USC. How much more badass does that get?

Rock Stars can be smart. Not all Rock Stars though. Some of them are those kind of people who sit around and suck at making music and just sit around and wallow in their own douchebaggery filth. I know.... Gross
