Because Don Johnson had one hit song -- and it was horrible lyrically, vocally, and musically. And actually, Joe Perry did become famous as a result of being a fantastic fry cook. Steven Tyler was so impressed with his french fries he asked to see the cook, and met Joe. Thus Aerosmith began to formulate in the rock womb. And Rick Springfield was an accomplished musician BEFORE taking acting classes, which he only did to pay bills and try to pick up his life after suffering many tribulations. He was in an Australian rock band called Zoot in the late sixies that was immensely popular and successful, but eventually went down the tubes when the band split. He then got another record deal as a solo artist, had a hit song, and the record company folded and he was out of luck -- again. With a solid fanbase as a result of General Hospital, Rick took the songs he had written and put 'em out again and then bam. Jessie's Girl, Don't Talk to Strangers, I've Done Everything For You, etc are all hits. Grammy for Best Male Rock Performance for Jessie's Girl. Hm. Wonder why he didn't win it in any other genre. Perhaps it's because he was, and is, a rock artist. What else is strange? He's still putting out albums -- over 20 million sold and 17 top 40 hits -- after leaving GH. How odd.

quote: That's a really dumb generalization. You can't base every rock star off their original occupations.
So I guess Joe Perry isn't a rock star because fry cooks do not = rock stars. Aerosmith's gonna be pissed.
That's ridiculous. Perry didn't become famous by being a fantastic fry cook. THE ONLY REASON that anyone gave Springfield a record deal was because he was already famous, not because he had any particular talent. Don Johnson was the same thing. I don't see him on your list?

I apologize for trying to navigate your filth and return this thread to its original topic. Soap opera stars are not = rock stars.

Soap opera acting is way over-dramatic, and not realistic at all. Not to mention the entire premises behind some soap operas (especially the older ones) are completely bogus and rather corny as well. But that's another topic.

Lol, another huge stereotype. Soap opera acting (when done well) is the hardest form of acting outside of improv. Soap opera actors must learn over 20 pages of script every DAY, and they get one take. It's basically "live." They tape 45 minute shows every day. I'll give you that some soap operas (and their actors) suck, but many of them do not. Leonard Nimoy, Anne Heche, Alec Baldwin, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle, Laurence Fishburne, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Julianne Moore are ALL distinghuised actors (some Oscar winners, Oscar noms, Emmy winners and noms), and ALL appeared or starred in soap opera. Not only that, but over half of them can sing, and well. Eden Riegel (the former Bianca on All My Children) performed in Les Miserables.

Jessie's Girl was not the worst piece of music I've ever heard not very rock but not God-awful

He's not bad. Point of fact, he happens to be an accomplished musician, and a great live performer. Jumps around more than guys half his age, and interacts with the audience. If you're going off "Jessie's Girl" that's not fair at all.

Hey, I just scanned over your list and saw Rick Springfield. Then I threw up.

Kat. But yeah, Pink is rock. She wasn't a few years ago. (That Can't Take Me Home album she put out was R&B/pop. But that wasn't her idea, it was her label's.)
