Sometimes I want to roll a newspaper and thwack Twitter on the nose in response to poll results and this is one of those times

Completely is the only possible answer for me. Music is culture, and I don't find it through supernatural manifestation, I find it through interactions with culture. I don't know how else I might find new music

I'm a black (mixed) GenXer, grew up in S. California and W. Colorado, straight, no religion. Fav musician is Springsteen, followed by Petty, most classic rock, classic hip hop, classic*al*, doowop, some 80s & 90s alternative. People I knew growing only had bits & pieces of these.
