The younger crowd likely do not realize what a big
deal he and his contemporaries were in the deadly
dull whitebread post-WW2 cultural landscape.
And how Mom and Pop freaked out over songs like Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I
Put A Spell On You", which sold 250,000 copies nationwide before being
banned from airwaves, only to sell another quarter-million through >word-of-mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFcusdmFwgQ
Well, if you want to make something very popular, ban it :-)
"Juke-joint" knee-grow music was sure to ruin America, or
so the WW2 generation was convinced. Why, white girls
might lust for knee-grow boyz and be "ruined for life" !!!
Oh well, maybe rock-n-roll did ruin America, but I think it
was more a symptom of deeper discontent and fractures
than a cause. Popular music is more *about* something
already out there, not so much an attempt to invent
something new. The deadly dull whitebread post-WW2
environment simply was not going to last very long, people
cannot stand to live that way unless they are sucking down
Mother's Little Helpers like candy.
