The House of Blues radio archives, a trove of music and interviews featuring Dan Aykroyd in his Elwood Blues persona, found a permanent home earlier this summer and is now preserved for future generations at the Library of Congress. A grant from Rex helped make it happen! Rex Board Member Rosalie Howarth said: “The life stories of these legendary musicians provide a rich vein of American history to be mined by future writers and historians. The general public will be able to put on headphones and hear these legends share their experiences in their own distinctive voices. Those of us in the music biz know that blues musicians were among the most ruthlessly exploited artists in our history. Though this will not make them whole financially, it will allow their stories to be heard for generations to come. Perhaps their stories of survival and resilience will inform and inspire future songwriters, musicians, and historians.” Read all about it... https://lnkd.in/gux-DTKP

Robert Plant Quotes1. “The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.”2. “I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.”3. “You can’t give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside – so be it. But at least you know you’ve tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.”4. “My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.”5. “Music is for every single person that walks the planet.”6. Since I was a kid, I’ve had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties – but I’d never really touched on dark Americana.7. I’m just lucky because my kids are grown-up – I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don’t need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.”8. “There’s nothing worse than a bunch of jaded old farts, and that’s a fact.”9. “Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I’ve always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.”10. “It’s sort of a feeling of power onstage. It’s really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don’t really think it’s power… it’s the goodness.”(credit: americansongwriter(dot)com)

As promised, this is the full title of the album shown in the video. "The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard* Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won." Safe to say, Silviu was 100% correct when he said it'd take him more than a minute to read it for you.

[This unRivalrous Perspective from Lyle Enright was featured in a recent issue of our biweekly newsletter, The Frame. Click here to subscribe: https://buff.ly/3vu0N4G] Beyoncé’s new album Cowboy Carter is making waves. After an “unwelcoming” reception from many country music fans, Beyoncé answered with a work of art. Historian Jamar Tisby celebrates not only Beyonce’s talent and courage, but also her non-rivalrous model: "Instead of letting the racists win and…claim ownership over an entire genre of music, Beyoncé 'did a deeper dive into the history of Country music.' In creating this album, and she took her time doing it, Beyoncé models the approach that more of us should take when dealing with racism in the world." What, exactly, is that approach? Beyoncé did not respond to prejudice by flaunting her own celebrity or her confidence as an artist. She didn’t fight one myth with a myth of her own. Instead, she carefully studied the history of country music. She brought a richer history to the surface, told a fuller story about American art to which everyone belongs, with symbols that cannot be contained by power or identity. The very existence of Cowboy Carter is humbling to me. It invites me to question my own impulses, my temptation to believe that America has no hope of ever being the beacon for freedom and justice it claims to be. Just because there are people who want to claim that vision for themselves, and exclude others from it, it doesn’t mean that vision should be abandoned. Cowboy Carter says as much in its proud display of American symbols and its celebration of American music. Again, we have much to learn from Beyoncé about how to engage power and prejudice nonrivalrously. As Tisby puts it, "[s]he did not accept the dominant narrative that was crafted by and for white people (and a certain type of white person at that). She interrogated the assumptions and did her own investigation of the source materials." Nonrivalrous resistance starts by taking its time, asking questions, and remembering that not everyone fits our assumptions–or even theirs! It looks for ways to turn rejection into celebration and art.
