It has always been a problem to decide whether "popular music" is music meant
to be heard by the people or is simply music that the people like. The same problem
of definition exists with jazz.So many kifferent types of music have been called
jazz at one time or another that it is hard to say __41__.Jazz has always been
considered __42__black music but when I first took an interest in it twenty years
ago,I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrong’s in
the 1920s,I found out afterwards that they learnt to do this by playing his records
__43___ until their style was close enough to his.
Since then white singers __44__ Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own fold
tradition, instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes since 1960
__45__ social and technical. One is that young people have more money to spend
on records at earlier age than they __46__, so Tin Pan Alley, the "popular
music"industry, aims at teenage audience. __47__that electronic equipment has
developed __48____extent that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to
produnce recordings that are quite different from a live performance.
But the real problem with "popular music" is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked
against __49__ a real music of the people. It takes everything original and natural
out of it and replaces it with cheap commercial imitation. As the American folk
singer, Woody Guthrie, said :"They’ve always preferred the second-rate songs.
They’ve never wanted to play the __50__ ones."
