Having been born and raised well after feminism made its cultural mark, I
must say I've always been totally baffled by the social prejudice that
wiggling one's fingers on a guitar neck is a masculine activity. It would
be nice to get looping off to a more egalitarian start. Maybe there's hope
- I thought it was cool when my neighbors had a rave and all five dj's were
women.....
In the case of a Crimson show, perhaps the quantity of receding hairlines
and extended waistlines has something to do with the low female turnout?

Maybe you should keep holding the guitar and tell Bryan to tend the new
generation?
Better yet, let someone else do the baby-making, and we'll just park our
vans near the local elementary school, dangling jammans from the window
saying "C'mere kiddies, want to try a weird hobby?"
