"If it were the 1950s & I wanted to express the opinion that none of these whippersnapper heathen rock'n'rollers had any talent, I'd have chosen to make sure I knew who Ike Turner, Louis Jordan, & Louis Prima were before I would've made such a pronouncement."Not necessarily so. I might be comparing them to classical musicians. Be that as it may, I don't understand how it's pertinent to knowing who Heron, etc are and having any familiarity with their music. Certainly I'm aware of the roots of music I enjoy but if you're saying that rap comes from these three, again, it's not pertinent to my original statement. If I said punk rockers possessed no talent, the fact that I might not be familiar with Velvet Underground, Stooges, etc has no bearing on it, IMO. PErhaps I'm comparing them to Page, Clapton, etc. If rap is to be considered talent-laden music, it's going to have to stand on its own, same as any other genre. I'm not sure where you're going with this comment. Somehow Heron and the others hold some key to musical knowledge?
I bounced the name Ken Nordine off several musician/record collector buddies and got little info. It sounds interesting, though.
I appreciate your final paragraph. I don't think the point is for me to learn to like rap; the point is to see if I agree or not with the talent aspect. I'm sure I'll never enjoy it but it may just broaden my musical perspective somewhat.
