Re: crappy music of the masses



<< I thought the  good old days only existed for white males. >>

Not so. Not so. For example, there was once a viable thriving black 
community in Pittsburgh in the early-middle part of this century up until 
around the early 60's. There were great black owner restaurants, bars 
where 
many, many black (and some white) musicians played (e.g. Billy Eckstine), 
black businesses. The econmic plight of blacks and the situations in many 
of 
the northern US cities became exacerbated in more recent times due to a 
variety of reasons. I think one of the current ones is the lack of jobs 
that 
pay a reasonable wage and the offshore outsourcing of manufacturing jobs.

And the assertion of "the good old days only existing for white people" is 
a 
ridiculous assertion anyway. Things were pretty shitty for Christians 
during 
the Roman era. Things were shitty for a variety of peoples throughout the 
ages. So what? What do we have to do with that?
