Those bunch of dead people did something under their 30 years of life more than you and I could do in our lifetime, not to mention their fucking talent, which you have to agree to.
They lived in different music era, its not to compare to, but their popularity can be measured, easily, and I dont think Mr.Kanye can fill the stadium of 100.000 people which granfathers Rolling Stones did on their tour in the begining of century outside the USA of course.
actually, very few people could pull those numbers. attendance doesn't equate to talent. also, we're in the middle of a recession - people don't have affordable income to blow and the fans of the Stones are probably in an entirely different income bracket then the fans of Kanye - i'm guessing your typical Stones fan is richer and older i mean, did anyone SEE the ticket prices for the last tour? Kanye's fans are probably mostly lower to middle class income and less able to afford to go to a lot of shows.
and yes, the Stones have talent - they have also not put out (arguably) any relevant new music since the early 80s. people go to see the old stuff - from what i hear, the new stuff is when everyone gets up and goes to buy more beer. not a crack on the Stones, btw, they can still PLAY hard - they're just not a creative force like they were in the 60s and 70s.

The urban dictionary isn't what I'd call a source worth quoting but you are right in the sense that it is used in many different ways to mean different things. Since I love rock music I wouldn't call Kanye a rock star but if society wants to use that term to describe him then so be it I guess.
it's a fun source, tho, and really, it is kind of where culture is headed - i use it as a source whenever i go shop at hot topic so i can translate the sales people.

According the the Urban Dictionary, which i googled, Rock Star means:
1) Someone who can stay up and party all night long and then wake up and take care of business in the morning.
2) An energy drink made in Las Vegas that is as potent as Red Bull, yet doesn't taste like medicine, has extra ingredients (like "Milk Thistle", which is supposed to clean out your liver), and is sold in 16 ounce cans for about the same price as other 8.4 ounce competitors.
3) Someone who engages in hardcore partying, including tons of alcohol, drugs, and sex.
4) Someone who doesn't follow rules, they make their own. The go out of their way to be extraordinary, different from everyone else. They sometimes choose to have exotic piercings or tatoos, some have really, really crazy hair! But those are not the only kind of rock stars...
5) Being true to ones self and their very nature; Living without limitations or restrictions to ones obsesions. Freedom. Someone who is Living the Life You Want to Live and doing things you can Only Dream About. The Person you want to be, or dream about being.
6) A game developer known for its kick ass games such as: grand theft auto, red dead redemption, midnight club, etc.
language evolves. it will evolve again. at this point in time, Rock Star doesn't always equate with rock and roll. btw, pop is short for popular music - do you know that Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby were once pop stars? obviously, they have very little in common with Brittney, but yeah, they were.

Rock Star denotes the Rock genre. Kanye makes noise which some people do seem to find appealing but it is definitely not rock!
Though somebody mentioned that the term "rock star" has transcended genre and has been used to refer to some musical icons that are not necessarily rockers, it doesn't mean that they are correct in their usage of the term.
Also, while Jimmy Page is still alive he holds the title of biggest rock star on the planet. I mean seriously, who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.
actually, as culture and language evolves, means more then just someone who plays rock and roll music - i've heard sports stars described as rock stars, and movie stars and business men - my wife even claims to be a rock star when she's kicking ass and taking names and she's never even been near a guitar, so no, rock stars don't really have to play rock and roll these days.

Just an interesting perspective here. i grew up with Hip Hop - do i like rock? yes, but i still enjoy hip hop as well. a lot of people's comments here are simply fueled by the fact that they don't like hip hop. that's cool. that said, to claim that hip hop artists have no talent, simply because you don't like the genre seems a little unfair. there are some brilliant rappers out there - the skill is different then singing, obviously, but what they do shouldn't be down played simply because you aren't a fan. personally, i don't care for quite a few rock artists, but i don't deny that they're quite good. and yes, there's some crap hip hop out there as well, just like there's some crap rock. hip hop is growing, it IS taking over as a huge force, and because of that, everyone who can hold a mic is jumping on it, just like, at one time, everyone who could afford a guitar started up a rock band.
just something to think about when you make a statement such as Kanye has no talent. how many of you who believe that have actually sat down and listened to his music? uh huh. i thought so. point made.

That taste is subjective. My daddy's parents thought Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross were worthless musicians. Not to say that Justin Bieber = Marvin Gaye; I'm just saying, new rock stars rise up, then everyone that treasures previous generations of rock stars declares them worthless. There weren't too many 50 year olds that thought a whole lot of the Beatles when they showed up either.
Speaking of the Beatles, not sure how you feel about them, but John Lennon did once declare them to be bigger than Jesus. If that ain't calling your own shot, I don't know what is.
i think he meant Taller. From all reports, Jesus was a short man.

pot, as well as other drugs, make a nice suppliment to sex, as long as you don't over do it. occasionally, though, yes, "high sex" can be great, tho pot is the only drug i'd go solo (masturbation) with - ecstasy by yourself is not the way to go - you need to have a partner. same with most other drugs.

another vote for Lelo - honestly, since Doll turned me on to their line, i haven't even considered buying anything else - we, as a couple, own 6 (they have a variety of different models) and all our old vibes have become landfill - with the exception of my Hello Kitty vibe - somethings you just can't part with.
