@KaceyHutton4 I agree with you; there are a lot of Canadian artists who are internationally loved. However, the CanCon quota could have allowed these artists to build a strong Canadian fan base that helped establish international success.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

I agree with CanCon's quota of Canadian artists on Canadian radio stations. American culture is highly influential and is exported globally. With the amount of music produced in the U.S, it could be difficult for Canadian artists to receive exposure without the quota. #MUS2011W21

@_emilymorrissey Great insight. Perhaps the decline in popularity of live cover bands could be because popular artists usually do not cover each other's music anymore. It was once commonplace for popular artists to record versions of other artist songs. #MUS2011W21

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

@hjmmadden I agree nothing beats seeing your favourite artists live in concert; however, Wald's point was that there isn't the same demand for live cover bands as there once was. Usually these large music festivals do not have cover bands. #MUS2011W21

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

I agree with Wald's statement. In the past, it was likely easier and more affordable to see local artists cover the hits than to purchase the albums of all your favourite artists. today anyone can access any music for little to no cost. #MUS2011W21

@bonin_jake I disagree, "schlock" is just another example of the white exploitation of black lives. White artists and record labels profited by appropriating and selling black music to an audience that was too inherently racist to accept the original artists. That has to be acknowledged.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

@_emilymorrissey #MUS2011W21 Great point Emily, "Schlock" rock appropriated the products of black musical talent. The original artists should receive recognition and compensation; their music made white artists and record labels a large amount of money.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

Shlock rock was cultural theft. White artists appropriated near carbon copies of black rock and roll songs, making minor changes that repackaged the songs and made them easy to sell in a white mass market for profit. #MUS2011W21

@angela_greenee I agree that Ray Charles's emotion is on full display in his singing of I've got a woman. It is also interesting how the breaks in vocals are used to implement traditional African call and response singing and create a gospel-inspired sound.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

Ray Charles was an influential R&B artist of the 50s and 60s who famously used a breaking voice. Charles used rough-edged vocal timbre, selectively added shakes, moans, and other improvised vocals to illustrate that his natural vocal style that was rooted in gospel #MUS2011W21

@YoungestMyrden #MUS2011W21 The ability to enjoy live concerts virtually is particularly important in today's world. With pandemic restrictions in place, artists were able to hold live concerts while still promoting social distancing. This is beneficial for the artists and the listeners.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

@JoshuaHynes15 #MUS2011W21 Fascinating points. I agree that streaming services have influenced people to obtain their music from more trustworthy sources. More importantly, they also increased the legal procurement of music, ensuring the artists receive compensation for their work.

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

#MUS2011W21 Before music streaming sources, albums were individually purchased. Owning a large collection of music was very expensive, restricting the access of low-income groups. Now for the price of less than one album a month, individuals access an endless library of music.

@MatthewKeough6 I agree, while it seems like a good idea to stay up late to finish your school work, the lack of rest will not only affect your mood the next day but also your effectiveness with your work the following day. #HKR1000

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

I agree with my classmates who illustrated that only 44.01% of classmates being involved with groups or clubs is very low. Being part of groups relieves stress and can contribute to overall wellness #hkr1000

[Cory Jones @CoryJon37320730]

#hkr1000 based on the charts only 31% of students have religious faith. I believe this reflects a modern society where less importance is put into attending church services and having religious faith. #HKR1000
