>>My theory is there are different types of rockers.

>>Probably the ones who are putting it on are the ones

>>The ones who are what they seem, well, their first

The first thing I told my husband the second time I met him (first time I was with my bf haha) was how HUGE of a fan I was of his music- I told him "I've been in love with you forever." It worked though here we are happily married. I'd say it depends. The guys who really love music & not just the lifestyle will be turned on by chicks who actually "get" music and not just in it for the conquest.
