Ten hour layover in Montreal on Christmas Day, but will all be worth it to be at Stark’s Park for the first time ever to watch my Scottish club, Raith Rovers. Two great games and hopefully two big wins.

I think Ray Charles used a breaking voice to create a sound that is unique to him, breaking voice allowed Ray Charles to get the best from his Raspy voice. The use of the breaking voice made Ray Charles songs to be different from other songs of that genre.

AirPods have changed how people view social status, anyone who use wired headphones are seen as apart of the lower class. People assume if you don’t have AirPods you can’t afford them. Bluetooth headphones have made it much easier to access music so now I listen more.

A reoccurring example of false needs in popular music is the idea that alcohol fixes all of life’s problems. I agree that popular music appeals to a passive audience because most time people sing/enjoy songs without listening to the deeper meaning.

The problem isn’t that the USA ran up the score and people need to see that. The problem is that fifa gave the AFC 5 World Cup spots and CONCACAF only 3. Any CONCACAF team would beat Thailand

Agreed, onesoccer has to be the worse thing to happen to Canada soccer. Why can’t sports networks across Canada show games just like they do for hockey.

This music is considered “Schlock” music because it was sanitized covers of other artists music. The music was stolen from other artist and is unoriginal. This music should still be be valued, it provides a great example of what shouldn’t be done in modern music.

The false need of the love story is a great example for modern music because most popular songs are about love stories. “Alors on Danse” by Stromae is a great example of people enjoying a song because of the catchy beat and not paying attention to the true meaning.

I agree that “Schlock” music shouldn’t be dismissed as having no value. “Schlock” music is an example of problems North American culture faced with racism during the 1950’s and is not only important in music but also more important for Black artist and their history.

Wald’s assessment is to true for today’s pop audience. New technologies such as auto-tune drastically improve how artists sound. Live music simply doesn’t sound as good as recorded music and sometimes when people attend concerts they are often not impressed.
