If you studied African percussion you would find that their polyrhythms have nothing to do with the simple work song rhythms that are the basis of blues and rock in America. If you played both styles of music you might understand. try playing a 12/15 typical Malian pattern on a Djimbe, and then a shuffle beat on a drum kit.
Your point about the Celtic influence in American folk music is a good one. The jazz point was just stupid. the breaking of musical conventional rules that typifies jazz is the exact opposite of the highly traditional and rule based African music. Africans are traditionalists, not innovators. All the cursing doesn't hide the fact that all British rock is the effete version of the original American version. Your big hair examples only draw attention to that fact. All the name calling doesn't hide your lack of musical understanding. Your point about Jamaican influence in rap was a good one. But inner city black kids who created the American version, like Curtis Blow (real name) came first. Reggae is the original form in Jamaica not rap. Your boy...<GARY GLITTER,> n 1999, Glitter was convicted of downloading 4,000 images of child pornography in the UK, and was afterwards listed as a sex offender.[4] His reputation was greatly tarnished, and, though he continued releasing new music, Glitter's popularity declined sharply. He was permanently evicted from Cambodia in 2002 for suspected child sexual abuse offences.[5] He afterwards relocated to Vung Tau in Vietnam, and in March 2005 applied for permanent resident status.[6] Later that year, he was arrested by Vietnamese authorities while trying to leave the country, and was tried and convicted of child sexual abuse charges in 2005-06. On appeal in 2007 his three-year sentence was reduced by three months. He was released from prison on August 19, 2008. I rest my case.
