Pop culture studies

In the pre-9/11 days, pop culture was taken much more seriously.
The following archive is a good example:

If you are confused, read this first:

This is what in the 90s we believed the internet was supposed to
be for. (Then 9/11 happened and changed everything.....) I
wonder if it is possible to revive this kind of hobbyism?

There seems to be an online counterculture/subculture where this
is happening, described by names like "retro web", "small web",
"indie web", and other names.

Beyonce vs Country Music: Texas Hold 'Em

> Why is Beyoncé's new country song, "Texas Hold 'Em," no't
getting played on the radio? Chris Armstrong, a bluegrass
expert, talks about the African heritage of bluegrass music. He
performs with the "Sons of Bluegrass" band, and also wrote and
performed the Moonpie jingle! • The MoonPie Jingle

> Yeah.. add a county twang and it’s no longer black. Dolly
Parton was one of the few reverse situations where a county song
was covered by a pop star, but Dolly most certainly got paid

big in England that black blues artists ate good by touring in
Britain.

was around for a long time.❤

> I was just recently listening to the song, O'Death, which was
featured as part of the soundtrack of the movie, O Brother,
Where Art Thou? (2000), and it has always been obvious to me
that the song sounded like a Black spiritual or folk song in the
way it was sang. Well, once I looked it up, though it's
described as an Appalachian folk song, a printed version of it
was cited in 1913, in the Journal of American Folklore as being
sung by "Eastern North Carolina Negroes" circa 1908. Newsflash,
Black people resided in Appalachia also.

> As I commented to another one your videos, all Black people
want is for everyone to be honest, tell the truth, and give
credit where it's due. Syncretism happens over time and it's
expected, however, everything African Americans have originated
and contributed which has been appropriated in some form or
fashion becomes effected by a revisionism of history that always
attempt to erase us. Anyway, great video with a very
knowledgeable guest.
