So Surf, when are you going to post your band video from the 1700s? I think it would be appropriate for this thread and topic.

good points, yeah, music is a great artistic outlet. i look at bands as little entrepreneurial ventures combined with controlled rebellion and loads of good old fun! the organization required to put a band together, get gigs, makes deals, hire and fire, manage the money at times, be on time, rent or buy equipment, learn the business, etc etc is an awesome training ground for young people.

however, i disagree with the lower class stereotype--- the love of music and the desire to make it-- cuts across all demographics. back in the day, it was the son of the president of a national bank who excelled in my hometown as a punk rocker--- hardly a lower class family. just because something "sounds" like its from the gutter--- means little in reality most of the time.

best wishes,

In no way did I mean to put down or stereotype by saying lower class white boys....I was speaking subjectively about my son, his friends and the neighborhood we live in. We are the lower class. No snobbyness here. Their music is an expressiion of their roots, no doubt about it. It comes from thier own personal expierence mixed with the music of the pros that inspire them.
Sure, no doubt, music cuts across all demographics, like you said. If you think about it, the screaming singing isn't new. How about Janis Joplin? "Peice of my Heart" That song has more ups and downs in vocals and the music itself. She sounds soft and soulful, than blasts into a wailing, screaming frenzy at the end. That girl could sing! My opinion of course.
