I love to read about all sorts of singers from nearly every genre and era of music and it's really eye-opening to find out every generation had its music it enjoyed and thought the next generation's music was the Supreme Threat to Life and Liberty. The most surprising example is that I've been reading about 40's, 50's, 60's pop singer, Peggy Lee, and I find out Jazz, Swing and Big Band music was seen as a threat at one point. Wow! Even Frank Sinatra in the beginning wasn't liked by the parents of the teeny boppers who loved him. So I try to keep that in mind and not just automatically reject something that may be a few generations removed from my tastes. So it's nice that we're talking about this here, if only to try to broaden the musical horizon.
