One of the Black man's greatest contributions to world civilization is
blues music, from which jazz, rock n roll and other music derive.
Barrelhouse and jazz was born in bordello (or sportin' house) parlors,
both to complement and stimulate the upstairs activities.
The fact that rock n roll has been embraced around the world (even where
it was strenuously banned) is a testament to its wide and irresistible
appeal.
Much of this appeal has to do with its inherent sexual rhythms, since
people everywhere enjoy sex.
Khsidic youth, living in a sex-repressive/sex-restrictive environment,
cannot help but to respond to "the beat", because the music simply feels
good and provides an acceptable form of psycho-sexual release.
I havn't been to one, but I read that there are now khsidic "raves",
all-night
parties driven by loud "rock"Ýmusic. I'm sure its not only Moshiakh
that's on the minds of the ravers. This is a way for people who do not
normally question their lives, to rebel. Young people everywhere want
the same thing: their own style of fun. And "everybody knows what
happens when you start having too much fun" (Rick Danko: The Last
Waltz)
The "woo" should come off with a little salt and vinegar.
