You know at the first place i wanted Bob George and the elvis'fans answer to my question , but unfortunately they prefer ignoring it because they have NO argument about that .
My question was ,and what about in Africa ? but nobody except you answered to it , and i think you are not the one who truly think elvis is bigger but the two other elvis fans who didn't want to answer to my question .
However i think you disrespected my Continent by saying about the "root" ,the "tribal music" as if we don't know nothing about western music except our tribal music .
But i repeet : Africa Knows about Elvis and the Beatles BUT they don't care about them because they are not touched AT ALL by their music , they don't consider their music as something huge or impressive , which is the total contrary for michael , Africa realy loves him and even after the allegations most of them don't believe a word of that .
So is it because Elvis end the Beatles are white ?? don't know , maybe yes , maybe no
But the fact is that they don't care .
Elvis is huge in western continents 3/5 continents (maybe 4 but i realy think mj is bigger in Asia than him)
MJ is huge in 5/5 continents because there are 5 continents and not 4 remember that please ! it's not being disrespectfull towards elvis for believing .
thank you.
you feel i disrespected your continent? this was my original quote from the top of page 20-
"plus africa is rooted in more of black cultural tribal & other types of music? i dont know,havent been"
and you think ive disrespected your continent by using the words "root" & "tribal music" as if to suggest you know nothing about western music only your tribal music?
the word root in the context of which ive used it means 'source of origin' & root music or even as we call it sometimes rootsy music exists in most countries.it certainly exists in mine & its something people are proud of.
the phrase "tribal music" in the context of which i used it means "ancestral music" & again means that very thing,"ancestral".
my apologies to you if that offends you.i ment no offence at all.i actually thought that was complementary.i was under the impression that africa was steeped in tribal & roots music?
to suggest your country is unaware or unaffected of western culture or uninfluenced by it would be somewhat ignorant of me as an almost 29 year old man living in the 21 century. surely you dont think im that shut off from the world or unaware of it.
you will have to post my quote where i said anything about ignoring your continent,or only mentioning 4 continents?
to my knowledge ive not actually even mentioned continents (perhaps your mistaking me here).i am fully aware of africa as a continent.
