RocknRolla

Following on from the theme of Rockstar Disambiguation here we see a preview of the cracking movie RocknRolla, Guy Richie's latest work.

I have to say I enjoyed the movie immensely on many levels. The script appeals to my sense of humour right down to every last phrase, something to do with comic thrilling?

I'll be quoting lines from this film for years to come with like-mined friends.

Have you heard the term "Rockstars" used time and time again in relation to people on the Internet, particularly in the social media scene?

You have?

Me too, and you know what, it pisses me off no end. So this is my disambiguation post to state the use is plainly wrong when applied to wannabe practitioners of user generated content.

Terribly sorry people but if you want to know what a real Rockstar is watch this video.

If you have Rockstar needs go learn to play guitar, snort some coke and practise your stage diving, oh and pick up some tattoos on the way.

In the words of Scott Weiland (he's the singer above) "don’t attempt to stand in a man’s shoes when you haven’t walked his path"

How do you feel about the phrase?
