re: politics in music --
A recently-seen doc on John Denver talked about his activism, which, while real, was exaggerated I think in impact as described -- claim being made that he was some kind of trailblazer in musician activism and godfather of it, the prime example for the big cause pursuers of 80s.
Also in the doc, a quote on cultural impact goes something like this: "What Elvis was to the 50s, and the Beatles were to the 60s, John Denver was to the 70s."

Indeed Doug. He incited several attacks over the last 4 years - El Paso, Kenosha and of course Tree of Life. Sadly the cowards and profiteers who propped him up only now are willing to let him fall. The death of a police officer will be too much even for them and they'll try to slink off and pretend they were elsewhere the last 5 years.

"Snob" has a curious semantic evolution per OED. First appears in the 18th century as a colloquial term for shoemaker. During the 19th century it tended to mean somebody from a lower class and of little breeding, later somebody who imitates those of higher status, then finally only in the early 20th c. "A person who despises those whom he or she considers to be inferior in rank, attainment, or taste." The earliest OED illustration is a quote from Bernard Shaw, followed by Fitzgerald (from Gatsby), then Huxley, Isherwood, and so on.

I strongly urge you all to watch the new Billie Holiday documentary "Billie." It is gobsmacking. Most of the film is based on a cache of musician interviews recorded in the '70s with a journalist working on a biography of her. No one has heard these tapes before. The journalist talks with a wide array of people who knew Billie well. It is amazing, devastating, and historic.
