- I'm gonna have to take issue with you on this one. Have you
- every heard Willie Mae (Big Momma) Thorton? Go ahead find her
- version of _Houndog_ then listen to Elvis. I'm sorry, there is no
- comparison. The white audience (the mass audience, the ones the
- record labels made music for) could not handle the raw energy of
- Black Music. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Fats Domino played weak
- versions of the blues music that was so popular among the black
- audience.
- I find most early rock 'n' roll hard to listen to. Especially in
- the wake of the real, hard core, gut wrenching music that was
- available at the same time. Rock 'n' Roll was just baby pap, to
- pacify white, teenage audiences.
