Wtf gross
Gore claims to have been a rock and roller. Not hardly. She was a pop singer.
In your opinion, what is the difference?

Hmmm, I don't know, maybe listen to the rolling stones, and then listen to it's my party. You'll figure it out.
The music Lesley was releasing was considered rock and roll then. It may seem like pop to us now, but then it was much more rebellious.
