Re:
There's got to be some explanation for all this. Other than what was
mentioned here before about the possibly of some marketing guy from Ford
dug
techno;
I highly doubt it was anyone at Ford who originaly thought up this
concept...the advertising agency that Ford contracted is responsible for
that, not Ford Motor Company. The ad agency saw a link between
Ford>Detroit>Techno and they then came up with a concept for the ad and then
presented it to the marketing people at Ford in what is commonly called a
"pitch". The "techno guy" was most likely at the ad agecny, not Ford Motors.
As far as writing to ABC about this poll...
Does anyone think that they are going to redo the website with Jeff Mills,
Oliver Ho, and Dave Clarke as choices? I can just imagine if they did most
tossers looking at those choices would screw up their faces in absolute
confusion as to who the hell their choices were.
Does anyone on 313 think about going to the ABC website, of all places, to
answer a poll on your favorite techno artist?
Does this poll matter really? Is it going to change how techno music is
going to sound?
Fer chris'sake they just use the word techno because it's a catch-all.
If they used the word 'house' nobody would know what the hell they were
talking about..."favorite house band? you mean like the dudes who play those
Skynard covers down at Joe's Bar and Grill?"
Yeah, I was upset for a moment about this....for a moment.
It's the same as with jazz music. Most people think that Brian Setzer and
his Orchestra and clones are really swing jazz. They aren't even close. Do I
care? Does it degrade the swing jazz I listen to? No friggin way it does! I
know Setzer can't even touch the dirt that Ellington and others walked on.
Write in to ABC if you want but I think your time and energy could be better
spent other ways.
