I'm not suprised by this type of behaviour, politics as usual. It just goes to show that what I have to say hit's a little too close to home for some people. I noticed a lot of hostile reponses coming from the UK.
My advice is to people is stay true to yourself, know who you are and where you come from. It's good to learn and appreciate music from another culture, (I'm also amazed by Ron Hardy listening to the DHP archives) but don't try and be something your not, that's being disrespectful. The musical term "soul" is assoisasted with African American culture. Artist such as Stevie Wonder, Aritha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & Supremes, Motown. I will not get into the theoretical concept of "soul" because my views are too controversial for this list. I'd much rather focus on the discussion of 313 music, the reason I subscribed to the list. Eddie Fowlkes was the first to use the "techno soul" concept way before it became popular. on 1/10/03 7:25 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > That was completely uncalled for - > > that's the kind of sh*t I'd expect to see on some "rave" bulletin board > > MEK > > > > > "ryan burns" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org > ail.com> cc: > Subject: RE: (313) ron hardy track id > 01/10/03 07:14 PM > > > > > > > > i vote "TECHNO" the stupidest subscriber to 313. > look at the examples below. i rest my case. > > >> From: techno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> I was illustrating a point: how the trend in "soul" is superficial, it >> really doesn't reflect peoples musical backgrounds which are not >> African American. > >> I wish that was the case but I would disagree, most people are influenced >> by >> trend. >> i.e., "soul" > > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus > > > > >
