So you keep referring to people's *parents* which leads me to assume that you are rather young yourself. I don't know what my parent's record collection has to do with my taste in music (which is really quite diverse) - My parents have clay 78s - not vinyl - CLAY - with records on labels such as Decca and Bluebird.
I can see what you're saying about people outside of the 313-list community - there are most likely more musically ignorant people than knowledgeable - go to mp3.com and look at what some people label their music as - most of those who tag their music techno or Detroit techno wouldn't know what techno was if Derrick May walked up to them and slapped them across the head with a 12" of Strings of Life. But Soul has never been superficial or trendy - to badly paraphrase Cannonball Adderley "either you have it or you don't."

I met this one dude who claimed he's always been into Larry Heard the guy didn't even know "bring down the walls" In the early 90's this guy was wearing a Front 242 T-shirt and a wallet chain, Doc Martins. and you people are getting on my ass about this soul trend being superficail.
