Why is it that all the good music these says is coming from foreign

that actually sing. All that is coming from America is this disgusting
Rap garbage, which is nothing but some electronic machine making the
background, and some black idiot talking, and using some very filthy
vocabulary.

If music has anything to say about our culture, then America is in much
worse shape than most people realize.

Personally I'm rather old and still prefer the oldies from the 50s thru
the 80s, but when I'm in public I hear what is playing on the juke boxes
and modern radio stations, and all the stuff I like, is all from foreign
countries, while the stuff that I find to be the most repulsive is
American.

I'm not a racist by color, but I think American blacks have completely
ruined music.

When Robert Plant, yes THAT Robert Plant, wanted to explore and make an
album of Celtic/Galleic music, he had to come to Appalachia to get the
truest form of the Irish sound.

You see the Celtic sound has disappeared from Ireland almost altogether
yet it preserved in America particularly in the Appalachian states.

The OP must only listen to Top 40 or Billboard pop music, because
America being a very large and diverse nation has many diverse forms of
music, most of which are alive and well.

Of course this doesn't matter to you because you are just throwing out a
racist barb for the sake of being a racist. And most of your 1950's to
1980's music is most likely influence by Black creativity and sound,
developed in black communities...
