"Is that the jist of your post Anon? "The internet is a big place"?"
Yes. Don't blame me if you're too inept to find one of the thousands of sites dedicated to all of those artists you're interested in.
"And those of us who would like to see a little more diverse music coverage on Salon should go elsewhere? Like where, Anon, Soweto or some world music Bantustan? Why should we be ghettoized because our musical tastes are a little broader than yours?""
Again: ever heard of this thing called downloading music? You don't need to actually go there hear this stuff.
And I never said I didn't like music from other cultures. One of my favorite recent CD's is Raushan Orazbaeva's "Akku"--you probably know who she is, being a sage in all things non white. It was your insistence that you've "outgrown" "whiteboy" music and now graze in the greener, oh so profound pastures of world music that annoyed me. And where you got the idea that I said white boys rule and everyone sucks is beyond me--I'm not even white.
You've obviously not outgrown the need to call someone offering a good natured music nerd ribbing a, quote-unquote, dickhead.
