You know, I promised myself I would not get into this thead. The really sad thing about area one or moby or whoever is that it will represent this music in 20 years.
I was talking with some black dudes I worked with about a year ago about music, and they absolutely refused to believe that disco was black music. They just kept bringing up Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta. It is going to be exactly the same thing in 20 years. Afterall, Duran Duran and Flock of Seaguls represent the width and breath of New Wave in the popular consciousness of America.
