Contrast this with the incredible innuendo that the old bluesmen of the Mississippi Delta and New Orleans used, and then realize that classic rock was frequently an attempt at imitation of that form and you can see how something so cool can become something kitsch depending upon who puts their hands on it.

Supposedly, the name Whitesnake referred to David Coverdale's ummm, appendage. They definitely weren't subtle. And which teenager of the 80's didn't think Here I Go Again was the greatest video ever made?
