Americn Music

The legacy of American starts from two distinct points. One is the aristocracy who did create a Democratic government, but one which was still dominated by the wealthy. The other is the fellow traveler, or the person who's not really a beneficiary of the new government. The story of America always includes elements of both sides with the moral being that a have-not can become a have. Today the musical elite use the image of the fellow traveler to capitalize on the industry. But that makes sense seeing that at root America would not be the same if it were not for the influence of the wanderer, the bum, the undesirable. The same is true for most countries, but this country is the mold from which all musical trends are cast. That may seem nationalistic, but who will argue that America is not behind the wheel of the global economy. Not as a country per say (which can be seen through the many public poles on policy that continually show the American people in opposition to their government) but as a symbolic force. American music has a powerful and succinct legacy.
