Again, as I said earlier. You have people that grow up not listening to the Bettles. Families don't give a damn about them. It isn't like people will be driving down the street blasting Beetles. So why exactly is it a "sin" that people that don't follow certain music types don't know who the dude is.Originally Posted by Kramer
I personally have a hard time believing someone doesn't know who Paul mccartney is but now that I think about it thats my background. I grew up listenin to the beatles and solely listened to classic rock for the longest time

So, it's great if a lot of people don't know who Count Basie is or who Bill Haley is?
@ the thought of "having" to know who certain artists are.
You missed his point. Some people are calling people "uncultured" because they don't know who McCartney is but those same people wouldn't call someone uncultured for not knowing lesser known/popular black artists. Shouldn't someone be considered more cultured for knowing folks that aren't in the popular music scheme of things?Originally Posted by rashi

Are you really going to compare the influence of the Basie and Bill Haley to the !!%*$$% Beatles? Really, bro?

Again it is all about certain people believing their world = THE WORLD.

They were cultural icons. Jay Z is not a cultural icon. Kanye West is not a cultural icon. They are both people that are somewhat well exposed, but their impact on popular culture and a generation will never be as pervasive as the Beatles or Michael Jackson were. I know that people might want to argue that, but it's the truth. Maybe time will tell.
