Of course, like I said, black folks have been setting the music trends for several decades. White people have been buying and imitating black music for a long time.

Since 1960, what trends would those be, besides Rap and Disco?

Celebrity not musician but I loved the Rogan podcast with Billy Bob Thornton.

"My peers ask me, why do you go out of your way to talk to the fans. I say.....because they put my kids through school, they deserve it. Heck I had a fella walk up to me the other day just kind of staring. I said to him, I know what you are thinkin, how did an ugly sob like me marry Anjelina Jolie, hell buddy I ask myself the same thing".

Tommy Lee was spouting off some political stupidity on social media once. I replied saying something to the effect that if he hadn't gotten lucky and landed in a band that was successful, he would have just been a regular drug addict instead of one with a fan base. So why should anyone take the political advice of a uneducated addict? I was promptly blocked. Guess the point stung a little.

That's not what you originally said. You said they are the ones that set all the trends.

Also- Chuck Berry is nothing like Metallica.

Even before the plane crash, they claimed this line was a joke.

NY and LN were on friendly terms. Supposedly he even wrote the song "Powderfinger" for them.

but rock music is unequivocally rooted in and created by black musicians.

Right, black people invented air, sunlight, and the 24 hour day.

No, blacks were a part of the early beginnings of Rock N Roll. So were Whites and even a few Hispanics. In no way, shape, or form did blacks "create" Rock.

Rock was a mesh of jazz, blues, country, and some completely new sounds.

I once read that whites made up 75% of the rap audience

It was, and is, true.

Meh, I looked it up. Ronnie said it was light hearted jab. Different from a joke.
Regardless, conservatives in the south took it literally, as they should.
Today isn't much different from then, with all the urban progressives trying to push their idiocy on others.
The Mason/Dixon line may not be the actual line between them and us today, but the basic idea is still the same.

Oh, by the way... are you one of them blue haired, limp wristed, low testosterone, commies??? Just curious
