There is a sexual undertone that makes some assume it is misogynist, but other than "baby" the lyrics do not actually say the recipient is female. The rage is directed at the music industry in the 1960's 70's, who all passed on signing him, while he was touring and doing 300 shows a year, the audiences were showing up and going wild, but the industry was telling him that they weren't sure if he was viable. "the road I cruise is a bitch now, but you know you can't turn me round" he's defying them saying he will keep rocking the crowds whether they sign him or not, and if anyone tries to get in his way, he will be sure they regret it. The blend of rage with the sexual undertone the rhythm and lyrics create, well that's Rock and Roll
