outfidel	Watching Scorsese's PBS Blues series? (69* d)	RE: Watching Scorsese's PBS Blues series?	03 Oct 03
re: British blues episode I thought that tonight's episode was okay for what it was trying to accomplish. The director wanted to show how white British kids loved black American blues/r&b, copied the music, and brought it back to America. Mission accomplised. The British musicians seemed pretty honest, even humble to me -- they were clearly in awe of Muddy, Wolf, et al. The problem: -- this story has been told millions of times in every rock history book and FM classic rock radio station (although I never realized how important Tom "What's New, Pussycat? Jones was to the Brit blues scene) -- once again, it's a classic case of ignoring the center in favor of the peripheral when 1/7 of the series is devoted to British blues while ignoring Piedmont & Texas blues Instead of "The Blues", this series should be called "Some Random Thoughts about Music That Martin Scorsese Likes".
