Why The Beatles' Star Club Tapes Best Represent the Group's Early Bar-Band Spirit

These raw 1962 bootlegs capture the young Fab Four at their hungriest

"Any deep-delver into the Beatles' catalog is familiar with those raging pockets of sound where this band, so often remembered for their beautiful melodies and graceful harmonic transitions, could be one badass mother of a group.... They are the toughest recordings the Beatles ever made, the rawest, the most fun, perhaps, judging by their comments while making them, and maybe the most purely Beatles-esque, for it was a badass mother of a band the Beatles first set out to be, not the sonic wizards of a Revolver or a Sgt. Pepper. "

If you REALLY want to understand this article, and were a raw, powerful, insanely raw rock n roll band, listen to "I'm Talking About You" (leaving it out is this article's biggest flaw). It captures EVERYTHING you ever heard about the early band.

Elvis & ‘Cultural Appropriation' - Music Works Best When Borrowed

If cultural appropriation is a crime, charge Elvis Presley. Culture thrives when it’s all shook up ...

Elvis left the building 40 years ago today. I remember that day well. I was on summer vacation and in the car with my dad going to his office. It is a SHAME that people believe that Elvis was a racist or "stole" music from another culture. Rock n roll is an American art form. It's comprised of blues, country, and some other elements. People of ALL races and cultures created the forms of music that became rock n roll.

From the article:

"His first big hit, ‘Maybellene,’ adapted an old melody that had been recorded by country-music performers like Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Berry combined the ‘hillbilly’ sound of white country with the African-American rhythm and blues that he imbibed in his native St. Louis.” For this, he was heckled in Harlem."

This is why history, even music history, is so important.

How a St. Louis neighborhood called the Ville helped define Chuck Berry's art

Chuck Berry was to St. Louis what Prince was to Minneapolis, what Elvis was to Memphis and what Sinatra was to New Jersey: Its citizens didn’t agree on much, but Berry was sacrosanct.

My mom's family is from St. Louis. But my connection to Chuck Berry comes from The Beatles, The Stones, The Beach Boys, and hearing Chuck himself. As a kid, I rode my bike to a small market near my house to buy a record with a bunch of people on it including Chuck Berry doing "Reelin' and Rocking" (which I thought was "Around and Around" - which I was introduced to via The Stones). I got it because of that song. Then I got a copy of "The Great Twenty-Eight." I still have both records. His influence on music is very obvious. It's interesting though how shaped he was by his home town and the neighborhood he lived in.
