Rush

we watched this documentary on Rush yesterday that was very interesting. a good documentary about a really great band. however, something struck me as i watched. they spoke with several musicians that site Rush as one of their major influences and how they would obsess and squid over the band and learn songs backwards and forwards and so on. they spoke to fans, producers, and industry legends about the development of the band and they influence on music as we know it today. the thing that struck me most is that they only spoke to ONE woman. this woman was a program director at the cincinnati radio station that first played the canadian band on the airwaves back in the 70s. a great role to have, especially for a woman in radio, specifically ROCK radio. it's struck me in a couple of ways. 1) they couldn't find one female musician that was influenced at all by Rush. 2) there ARE no women in rock music influenced by Rush. and then that got me thinking even further about "women in rock" - who are they? where are they? and then i got kinda bummed because at one point in my life and career - i could have been that females voice of rock influence. and i guess i'm sad that i will never be that.
