Otto, i beg to differ.....completely
it fell > flat on the ears of the prototypical white 18-year-old who has never > heard of James Brown and couldn't care less. sez who? thats an even greater generalization than saying white ppl cant funk! , white men can funk. But in the broader world of > dance music in general, most of them can't. what the broader world of dance music? there's no such thing. even if you say its commercial dance, stuff that gets played on mainstream radio in europe & the uk, its a collection of songs belonging to various genres. i think its safe to say that contemporary dance music is heavily influenced by black music....its a fact. that means that the ppl that produce it and the ppl to whom its marketed have been exposed to black music or music inspired by black music, or the funk or whatever..... lets not assume an apologetic stance to racial stereotyping by justifying it with intellectualisms that i personally feel are inexact. and lets not also consider us whiteys on the list as being special because we CAN funk. cheers fab
