Sabri,
I am "the" Turkish friend who "hated" Turkish rock-and-roll from the 1970s. BTW, "hate'" is not the right word to describe my emotional/intellectual distance to this musical imitation --a bad one-- in Turkey and only THEN, i.e. in the 1970's.
I have to confess that I put words in Ahmet's mouth. Disdain was a much more accurate description of his reaction than hatred. I was only trying to needle Bill Weinberg, who fancies himself as a kind of spokesman for the Arab and Muslim world.
