As much as we like to put on our pretty dresses and show just how bad girls we are, it’s always nice to put things into perspective – and the Foo Fighters have helped us do just that.
“I make my living playing rock ‘n’ roll, I’m not going to complain about it,” Hawkins briefly told TMZ. “Who cares, those awards are nice but they don’t f–ing mean sh-t, it doesn’t matter.”, bashed drummer Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters.

But the question isn’t if rock should get more airtime on MTV – it’s if music should get more airtime on MTV.
