    Joan Jett's story starts, in part, with a snub during her teen years. "I said, 'Teach me how to play rock and roll,'" the musician remembers. Her guitar teacher replied, "'Girls don't play rock and roll.' " His response just compelled her to rock harder.https://n.pr/2QhMXZk

        To recap: Some small town failing musician supposedly told her she couldn't do this completely arbitrary hobby, 40 years ago, and it had no lasting ill effects. Oh, the humanity!

        I once emailed half my state's congress asking them to consider a vacancy tax due to so many high-priced properties sitting empty here, and use the tax $ for low-income housing. One congressperson replied; told me to go read a book. I decided to email the other half of congress.
