">The uneducated masses don't know electro from hip-hop from Jazz and
probably
never will. What would be great is if he wins he could go up and blast the
audience with a quick dose of knowledge like "The music Industry sucks and
you are all sheep!!!".
The uneducated masses, definitly no... But I started with Public Enemy, then
go back to Afrika Bambaataa, and to electro, and I started to understand
more about Kraftwerk. Then I began to love hip-hop, that became hip-house
for a (fortunatly) short time, and (guess what) this songs boosted my
interest for
house and Chicago... 300 miles away from Chicago was Detroit and so I
started
to listen to some techno...
And now, 18 years later (aaaargh), I'm signed to a 313 mailing list, tryin'
to
learn more.
So, probably Juan Atkin will never be recognized by the masses, but maybe
an award would give him some more fame, more bucks and (maybe) 200 more
kids will begin to be more interested in techno...
...And we'll have 200 more people who can listen to us when we talk about
how music industry's soooo fake ;)
