Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can pick apart your analogy simply because it does not make sense to reality. YOU have missed the point!!

Pick up a dictionary. You are creating your own definition now.


American Heritage -

1. Music originating among the common people of a nation or region and spread about or passed down orally, often with considerable variation.
2. Contemporary music in the style of traditional folk music

Many of the songs that I hear fit both catagories quite nicely. The way music has been "passed down" in the last 100 years is not just using the "oral" tradition, and hence the second definition.

Sorry Don,your arguement no longer makes sense.
