I remember my older brother correcting me some 1000 years ago . I'd grown up on his Jazz records but the next generation wanted to be different so we embraced Chuck Berry and then Elvis (Pre US Army) . "Its Rock n Roll " I said as Heartbreak Hotel was playing on the radio. "Its Blues ,Man " says my brother (Jazz club type kids spoke like that )
First record I bought was Mystery Train by Elvis , turned out it was an old blues number ( Forgot the singer now, Little Blind Lemon Muddy Howling Waters or somebody!)
Like Kerching , I'm also becoming my Dad as regards ....c.guys rapping , clutching their privates and making stupid hand gestures .... Sugery Boy/Girl bands who have to use electronic modulators on the sound system to keep them from going flat . American so called female superstars who can't perform away from the studio. Those poor souls on Britains got Talent who think they can sing but are really a million miles away from the top professionals ,but the audience gives them a standing ovation .
There are though some talented youngsters about, most of them girls , KT tunstall , Rumer... that dutch wench ... whats 'er name ??
And more , can't think at the moment. Katie Meluer ??
