Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
: From: GUEST,In My Humble Opinion
Another GUEST we've never heard of before Why are you concealing your identity?
:: and virtually nobody gives a shit about it any more : The same can be said about alot of people regarding the British Tradition
Again, for the hard of thinking: I was giving an example of what happens when you label singer-songwriter music accurately, with all the additives listed on the tin. I don't think the difference between Turkish and white Anglo-American cultures in the fortunes of s/s music is entirely cultural (they have a potential market of middle-class weekend rebels there too, albeit a slightly smaller one). The stuff *needs* to be sold under false pretences to get established at all, and white Anglo-America is where that's happened to the largest extent.
