• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Before the Music Dies

Aye, you really have to search to find good roots music. You have entertainers and artists. Entertainers are around to produce mass quantities of marketable music that appeal to targeted audiences. Artists create their music because it is what they want to create themselves which some people will enjoy and some wont. I think today mostly what is heard on the mass media scale is the entertainer variety. I did read somewhere that because of the hard times that the blues was making a resurgence in popularity. Tho as a blues lover, I am quite happy that blues is relatively obscure. I think it has a shot at staying more 'pure' that way. I shudder to think of the greedy music industry taking the energy and soul out it by creating watered down inauthentic blues for mass consumption.

IMHO While Blues Brothers 2000 hardly fills the shoes of the orignal, the music was awesome. And as the kid says, it is all about the music. :salute:
