We're not talking about an encyclopedia, we're talking about a documentary on a genre. I figure it would focus primarily on culture and various movements. pre-rock (blues, R&B) 1 Hour '50s 4 Hrs '60's 6 Hrs 70s 4 Hrs 80s 2 hrs 90s 1 Hr Elvis & Beatles would get the most attention, followed by Dylan. I don't see huge chunks of the program being devoted to any other specific artists, but I would figure Hendrix and the Who would figure prominantly in the 60s, The Stones too. Festivals like Monterey & Woodstock and hubs such as San Francisco's Fillmore would be big, as well as TV shows like American Bandstand. Motown gets a sizeable segment. So does Folk rock and the protest movement. Zappa & Beefheart would probably get a pretty good nod as an example of how rock was shooting out in all directions in the 60s. 70s would probably include segments on glam rock (lotta Bowie), Prog rock, disco, Punk & new wave. 80s: "modern rock," corporate rock & Michael Jackson. 90s: grunge, rap and of course the death of rock (in the final episode). If I were Ken Burns Chuck Berry would be my Louis Armstrong. And maybe Robyn Hitchcock would be my Wynton Marsalis--the authority on everything. - - rUss np: Incredible String Band/5000 Spirits or Layers of the Onion ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2001 21:29:55 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: 50 years in 18 hours >If I were Ken Burns Chuck Berry would be my Louis Armstrong. Nah, I think Dylan would be the Great Man. Dylan's mystique fits perfectly into Burns' awestruck, myth-making mode, and Dylan has continued to make important records throughout his career (even if they're more liberally spaced than they used to be). Even Burns couldn't figure out how to swoon over Berry's recent years/decades. Then again, maybe Burns would do something brutal like cut the main story off around 1981, because MTV signalled the Death of Rock 'n' Roll. ;) Actually, the more interesting question would be whom Burns would choose as his *Wynton Marsalis*. Let's see...who's a household name, articulate, a student of music history and prone to grumble about rock music moving away from its original roots? Mmm...Eric Clapton? Springsteen? Jad Fair?

Considering his touring is one of the top earners in history. His shows sell out in minutes. Usually. Only comparable to Grateful Dead. The fact that he's apparently a "joke" shows a great amount of ignorance towards his music. Jimmy's less of a musician and more of an icon anymore.

Stevie Ray is one of the crossovers. Could be one of the best guitarists of the 20th century. His style of Blues appealed to both original Blues lovers and rocknroll lovers too. He's credited with helping to pump fresh interest in the Blues. Pick up 'Texas Flood'. You will not be disappointed. As for Jimmy. He was originally a Country-folk singer. His early work is still his best. As a storyteller, he's takes a back seat to no-one. If you want a good Jimmy album, pick up 'Changes in Attitudes, Changes in Latitudes'. Classic. Anything before and including 'Fruitcakes' is good. Lately he's been sucking. I don't think he's into the music anymore. It's just a paycheck.

It would have to be Little Richard, of course. Every one of the 18 episodes would feature Little Richard saying something like, "Yeah, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is stolen right off a song I wrote back in 1958, and I never saw a dime..."
