It seems to me that Sasha has done exactly that by combining her extensive knowledge and career in the film industry (eg founder of AwardsDaily) and a desire to address broad issues in society. Btw I didn’t know the Beatles were street and Stones artsie; doesn’t change my preference though :D. I bet something you could enlighten us on is how Rock evolved to reflect the times and shape the times. How it continues to influence music and society. The role of Rock in Vietnam war and subsequent ones. Impact on feminism. Relationship to blacks and Soul. Connection with Country. Music is such an under appreciated influence on our culture, hearts and minds. You have a great foundation to share and adding in your teaching career and experience will be awesome.

Thanks. I agree about Sasha. I love her honesty and authenticity.

Culture and music are inseparable and there are countless excellent books and documentaries out there.

We grew up the best time for great music!

Yes, thanks for this, I had no idea the Native American influence and I need to see this movie! I’m a bit later than you and Lib, but in my home growing up in 70’s it was a lot Motown (my dad grew up in Detroit). Ken Burns’ ‘Country Music’ was really good here more recently, I’m sure you’ve seen it

Wow! I had no idea about Rumble or their influence. Thank-you. Fascinating and now will be looking up more on them.

The full doc umentary is on Prime, Netflix and other streaming apps/channels. It’s so important.

Watching this video on Netflix now, and the Charlie Patton part is so good and fascinating. Choctaw power right there that rolled right into the voice of the great Howlin’ Wolf, then into Led Zeppelin and beyond. The Link Wray ‘Hambone’ origin story, love that

Isn’t it?

You can’t look at the history the same after seeing this.

Just watched it on Prime also. Was fascinating and I had no idea of their overwhelming influence on Rock and Blues.

I’ll get it on Prime. Just listened to the original instrumental. Amazing what I don’t know. I can imagine you’re an excellent teacher. Tyvm.
