Good sixties band, sounds much like a combination of the animals and zombies. It was that very same period. The Beatles had changed everything asnd this was an offspring of the Beatles unlocking the door to creative democracy. Prior to the Beatles artists were content to sing what they were told to sing. After the Beatles songwriters sprang up under every bush and a lot of them were good, all were new and fresh. In their entirety they created a genera that logically built upon itself. That is an interesting introspective. I can look back and understand how the ideas morphed the way they did.

Frank Zappa made a statement about music managers and promoters, he said something along the lines of: back in the fifties, sixties and early seventies, most of the promoters were old farts that were concerned about nothing else but sales. What followed was new management in the music industry, the hip, young and hungry, decided they would decide what the public would like to here, therefore taking control of new artists and radio stations, then proceeding to force feed musical fluff to the fans. Effectively destroying artistic creativity.

Effectively destroying artistic creativity. The music industry is in a relationship with the public which is modified by culture and the profit motive. I have no problem with people making money. The problem that results is that the industry seeks to reflect the present culture. I don't think it is malevolent on their part. They know it simply works. Plato indicated that when the beat of the music changed that the walls of the city trembled. It is interesting to see how Rap has become an institutionalized reflection of society as a whole. It makes me wonder at the synergy between the two. I see that the Rap culture either has created, or upheld a lifestyle which many have found repulsive. But yet it's presence seems to be an incubator for the lifestyle it supports. Sex and misogyny and being a criminal. One is lead to wonder why such a lifestyle is being mediated to a select minority demographic.
