Badass

I was reading Tom Breihan’s column on Bon Jovi’s Blaze of Glory, and he said this regarding the song:

“Blaze Of Glory” fits into a beautiful rock ‘n’ roll tradition that has sadly disappeared. It’s a song about being a mythic badass. Can you imagine a rocker — any kind of rocker — writing a song about being a badass now? You can’t…They ceded that lyrical territory to rappers…These days, at least as far as I can tell, people in rock bands generally don’t think of themselves as badasses. They don’t even aspire to badassery.”
