I play guitar. It's about the only thing I've done longer than being (happily) married, and I've been married a long time. If you look at my profile picture, you will soon conclude that in no way, shape, or form, do I resemble a rock star. Ozzie has no worries about competition from me.If I look at REAL rock stars; Clapton, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Jimmy Page, Jim Morrison, Les Paul, [add your list here], they are defined by the innovation they brought to their music, bending the rules to create a whole new experience that was soon copied by everyone else.
Rock and Roll defined a whole generation, and the artists collectively took popular culture to a whole new level. Almost every 12 year old that asked for a guitar wasn't thinking about Uncle Bob's old nylon string classical that's been under the bed in the guest room for years. They wanted a Strat, or a Telecaster, or a Les Paul, or a Flying Vee, and a really, really, big, amplifier.
