And somehow you see that as a bad thing...

Just go ahead and write it about Kendrick Lamar and be done with it.

Yeah why would you want to like stand out and be original and write about like an extremely important and like forgotten American musician and stuff that's like totally gay bro.

It has nothing to do with being original. You just act like my music taste is off relative to my age.

You said no one in your class would write about older people as if that's a reason that YOU shouldn't write about them. There's no harm in familiarizing yourself with someone or something new (or old, rather). You really should do yourself a favor, if not for the sake of your grade on this paper, and learn about music pre-1963.

And FWIW, I was born in 1988. Age is no longer an excuse to not learn about music history. Assuming you actually care about music and aren't just worried about a paper.

Sorry if I came off as a dick.

our band could be your life
real names'd be proof
me and mike watt played for years
punk rock changed our lives

we learned punk rock in hollywood
drove up from pedro
we were fricking corndogs
we'd go drink and pogo

mr. narrator
this is bob dylan to me
my story could be his songs
i'm his soldier child

our band is scientist rock
but i was e. bloom and richard hell,
joe strummer, and john doe
me and mike watt, playing guitar

Lou Reed
Robert Johnson
SRV
Stevie Wonder - really interesting life and is now an "ambassador of peace" or something
Derek Trucks - playing with the ABB as a young buck and still rocking

Joseph Wayne McVey

ZRo is his stage name

Never had a deal despite working with all of the most influential rappers in his area because no one really trusts him because he's a loose cannon

Should be an interesting paper

Carol Kaye, or some other super session player who played on records for top rock bands. It'd be interesting to get their take on working with the Stones, Led Zep, etc., without actually being in the band.

Duane Allman. It would be a short but interesting read.

Wasn't there someone that turned down a spot in the Beatles. It would be awesome to do a report on someone who turned down a role in a soon to be legendary band and follow the rest of their career.

ETA: forgot about the american stipulation, maybe a similar thing has happened on this side of the pond.
