sorry people, i don't dig all this musicology nonsense. imo, this is all
very old-fashioned. :-)

is there really anything to gain by trying to draw straight lines
through history? connect the dots from sidney bechet to kid creole to
louis armstrong to larry tremblay ;-) 

mr. tremblay bla-blas about choas theory books in one post while in the
next he's trying to tell us about how various white males have
single-handedly determined the course of music "HIS-STORY" (flavor
flav). huh? malcolm mclaren as the GREAT WHITE discoverer of hip-hop?
talk about bollocks ...

i would suggest thomas pynchon (another white male) as a describer of
LIVING history. ain't no straight lines for ya there baby. history is
relative, it depends on where you are and the state of awareness.

sorry for antagonistic tone,
rob
