Subject: RE: BS: pop music of today
Interesting definition s6K. Pop usually means "pop-ular" which would also mean people as diverse as Perry Como, Pat Boone, Rosemary Clooney and Nat King Cole from awhile back, or Michael Jackson (The self-proclaimed "King of Pop" or George Michaels. Very few of the pop singers played an instrument and I never saw Perry Como or Nat King Cole dance.

The slick stuff that you hate and call "pop" is something else. I don't know what it is, but like you, I hate it. People like Buddy Holly and Fats Domino could never make it today. Picture them dancing and grabbing their crotches.

Yikes!
