I love Little Richard, he must have been the sound of my mother's childhood, because she used to play his music for me when I was little, and so he became part of the sounds of my childhood.

quote:Originally posted by RealPlayer:
There’s a theory out there that I’m not sure I always agree with, that says new art forms emerge in reaction to older ones. For example: The subdued geometric designs of N.Y. subway mosaics were a reaction to gaudy Beaux-Arts filigree. Early rock & roll (like Little Richard) was a reaction to insipid 50’s pop music (Mitch Miller, Lawrence Welk). Raw punk rock was a reaction against overblown 45-minute 60’s guitar solos. I could go on...
I’d like to think that art can simply evolve stylistically too, not always in reaction. Maybe baroque to classical to romantic was like that. But minimalism can be seen as a reaction to 12-tone & serialist music.
I’m blathering here, but I’m sitting here with not much else to do...sorry.
