Regarding what we listened to in class: (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis)
Chuck Berry is a genius, disregarding the fact that all of his intros sound the same. Even though some people say that his music is repetitive or boring, he must be doing something right if we're still listening to him today.
Little Richard has got to be another genius, the same thing applies to him. If people don't like him, it doesn't mean he's not a genius. He influenced The Beatles, if they felt influenced by him he must have been a musical genius or at least appealing.
Jerry Lee Lewis may have been a psycho, but he was a badass psycho. I've never seen anyone play music the way he did. And the delivery, the showmanship, that was all part of his music and his act, which made him 3 times better than he already was.
Personally, I like all of the music we listened to in class. I had already listened to it before, come on, gotta have my Jerry Lee Lewis on my iPod. I know there's more good music to come, and I've been thinking that rock 'n roll is more than just music, it's like Mr. A said: sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. I think it's more of a lifestyle that accompanies the music. Before rock and roll, of course people still had sex and did drugs. But it was the music that brought some sort of awareness to it, and that almost influenced people to be more open about it, to rebel, if you will. That's why rock 'n roll is so special and unique, I think.
