“Rockstar 101”

Shanequa Golding- Assistant To CCO

I must admit, I wasn’t always the biggest Rihanna fan. (I know, I went to rehab and cleansed myself of the foolery) I wasn’t used to seeing a woman live her life-flaws and all-so unabashed and so unapologetic. But that all changed when she released “Rockstar 101.” The song is so edgy, so grungy, it lacked table manners and I loved it! You can’t help but want to wear leather, throw on dark eyeliner, and tell everyone who has a problem with you to buzz off! The song only got better once I learned guitar rock God Slash was featured. (I dressed up as Slash for Halloween that year to boot!)

From that point on Rihanna has been my girl, I have been a proud card-carrying member of the Navy!
