I'm sooo glad also....the swedish people and europe in general has always had

an ear for the blues... the more rural the better.

[weenerwallet]

haha. you're wrong! all that rock is..is a white man's interpretation of blues.

[almanacofsleep]

Its not racial but it is cultural and situational, Blues is an african american music, its been coppied by white musicans, watered down and sold to the mainstream. The big difference between the two is Blues is about liberation from oppression, were as Rock is just the liberation without the oppression. Not trying to say your not allowed to listen to it or to be inspired by it but the subject is more complicated then what you say.

There are different kinds of Blues,its not racial thing,everybody gets the blues,expression by blacks and whites,Clapton had the Blues,Stevie Ray had em,not just Big John,Ligning or Lenoir,their kind is called Mississippi Blues,the white mans is usually in form of Rock. Robert
