- Female cock-rocker
In his paper I Wanna Be Your Man: Suzi Quatro's musical androgyny, Philip Auslander analyzes Quatro's live performances of "Can the Can" plus "Breakdown" and concludes that she performed as a female cock-rocker. He writes that
"she has appeared on occasion just as a bass player, not a singer, and demonstrates her instrumental prowess with an extended bass guitar solo during her own concerts. By foregrounding her status as a rock player, not just a singer, Quatro declares ownership of the symbolic rock cock."
