Pop culture studies

In the pre-9/11 days, pop culture was taken much more seriously.
The following archive is a good example:

If you are confused, read this first:

This is what in the 90s we believed the internet was supposed to
be for. (Then 9/11 happened and changed everything.....) I
wonder if it is possible to revive this kind of hobbyism?

There seems to be an online counterculture/subculture where this
is happening, described by names like "retro web", "small web",
"indie web", and other names.

Beyonce vs Country Music: Texas Hold 'Em
[quote]Why is Beyoncé's new country song, "Texas Hold 'Em," no't
getting played on the radio? Chris Armstrong, a bluegrass
expert, talks about the African heritage of bluegrass music. He
performs with the "Sons of Bluegrass" band, and also wrote and
performed the Moonpie jingle! • The MoonPie Jingle [/quote]

Comments:
[quote]People did “covers” all the time on “Black peoples songs
“ and get a “hit “. No royalty or credit to the original
owner.[/quote]
[quote]Yeah.. add a county twang and it’s no longer black.
Dolly Parton was one of the few reverse situations where a
county song was covered by a pop star, but Dolly most certainly
got paid [/quote]
[quote]Led Zeppelin is the biggest offender. Straight up ripped
off old blues musicians...[/quote]
[quote]Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds. Blues
was so big in England that black blues artists ate good by
touring in Britain.[/quote]
[quote]Charley Pride was definitely a Black country music star.
He was around for a long time.❤[/quote]
[quote]I was just recently listening to the song, O'Death, which
was featured as part of the soundtrack of the movie, O Brother,
Where Art Thou? (2000), and it has always been obvious to me
that the song sounded like a Black spiritual or folk song in the
way it was sang. Well, once I looked it up, though it's
described as an Appalachian folk song, a printed version of it
was cited in 1913, in the Journal of American Folklore as being
sung by "Eastern North Carolina Negroes" circa 1908. Newsflash,
Black people resided in Appalachia also.
As I commented to another one your videos, all Black people want
is for everyone to be honest, tell the truth, and give credit
where it's due. Syncretism happens over time and it's expected,
however, everything African Americans have originated and
contributed which has been appropriated in some form or fashion
becomes effected by a revisionism of history that always attempt
to erase us. Anyway, great video with a very knowledgeable
guest.[/quote]
