you know, I can honestly say there is absolutely no way I could render any opinion on this topic at all. I have never listened to the blues, Janis Joplin was a little before my time and i am definitely more a product of my environment... and in my enviroment no one ever listened to this type of music.
I am not saying that this is the case here but I have found that many people who listen to blues, or jazz or do things like go to wine tasting events to swirl wine and sniff the bouquet tend to be pretentious, arrogant assholes who only use these things as a way of trying to prove they are better then everyone else..........
gimme beer and rock and roll and I'll just sit here being fat dumb and happy
