Isn't Mick Jagger the 100% authentic sound of young british blues obsessives from the early 60s, though?
to a degree. is this what he is trying to convey? i suspect not.

don't understand your question. it's the same real America that produced Charlie Parker, the same fake America that produced Wynton Marsalis
Eminem is a better rapper than ...lots of more 'authentic' black rappers from 1979.
Sheesh, next you'll be telling me David Bowie isn't actually from Mars.
and by pointing out an exception to the general rule, (which i have already said does exist), you are validating the rule itself.
You're defining 'real' as things that you like, is the point of my question. Someone could say that 'real' American music is only that which is directly descended from native American music. They could say anything and arbitrarily say that that is 'real', based upon their own personal assertion of what 'real' is. Which is what you're doing. Until you actually describe what authenticity actually is, which you haven't done yet

no, its quite nice. it has a wonderful texture and tastes nice too.
which you see on tap how often exactly?
i don't have to because you, me, and everyone here knows exactly what relative authenticity means in each case, be it Irish Stout, Chinese Food, or American Pop Music.
you are, again, ludicrously disavowing something which we all understand and are invested in.
Well, I'm struggling cos I don't think I really understand the concept of authenticity. I was actually gonna pick the Stones as a good but inautentic band - but then I realised that you could argue as Slothrop did that they were authentic in some way. Plus probably loads of people hate them. I think that with people such as Eric Clapton it's their striving for authenticity that makes them so boring - but striving for something is dfferent from being it. In fact if you have to strive you probably haven't got it."still waiting. and please:"
Love are a band that everyone likes (surely)
