@KaylaWoodman2 I personally believe in a quota, but am aware that this may not have the same impact as it once did. Perhaps a better option is further promotion of Canadian content within services like Apple Music, Netflix, etc. that are more often accessed than the radio. #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@Couves_Mark #MUNMUS2011 This is a great point. If small-time Canadian artists are neglected within their own country, it is increasingly difficult for them to compete with artists and reach audiences, especially outside of Canada.

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

#MUNMUS2011 I believe it is still necessary to enforce a quota of Canadian content because most media loses popularity eventually. It is important to remind people of the content produced by their country after time has passed to regain its popularity and promote appreciation.

@ZacBatten2 #MUNMUS2011 that's a good point! I totally see what you mean. It might be interesting to know how this made Cohen feel if Buckley mainly contributed to the song's popularity!

@klwellwood #MUNMUS2011 Bars with live bands give artists an opportunity to showcase their talent as well. They can sing their favourite songs and entertain others. The listeners are likely to enjoy hearing the music they like in a different style and share the experience with their friends

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

#MUNMUS2011 I do not agree with Wald because many young people are interested in life experiences and seeing/learning new things. Many people I know love going to open mic nights and bars with live bands (almost all cover songs) simply to enjoy their night and witness new talent!

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@alana_needle Yes it is great to see covers with good intentions behind them. A new version of a song is often refreshing to hear! However, intentions are not always clear making it even more important to always grant the original artist the credit they deserve! #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

#MUNMUS2011 Covers by white middle class may have been called schlock because it was believed to be created for economic purposes or in an effort to downgrade the original song or artist. By using cultural elements of others, it can be seen as disrespectful to the orig. artists

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@CoozeLauren #MUNMUS2011 Its interesting to see that Boone's slight changes to enunciation and a few lyrics could change the overall sound of Little Richard's song so much! This authentic sound of music may not be so difficult to lose, leading to the belief that such music is schlock.

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@klwellwood #MUNMUS2011 The view that such covers are considered "schlock" is perhaps due to an idea that a person is building their career off of another artist without producing much of their own original material and talent. This is absolutely why credit should be given.

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@alana_needle I too appreciate when an artist can grab my attention with stylistic elements. Listeners often don't realize that vocal sounds are purposefully placed with lyrics and melodies to intensify emotion and overall mood/atmosphere rather than being random 'ad libs' #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@BlairHennessey Artists are aware that presenting their emotions through their voice allows the audience to better connect with their music. This gives the artist value in their work and aids in their success. Ray's ability to express his passion likely played a part in his fame #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

Charles may have used breaking because it showcases his voice's natural sound. It emphasizes his uniqueness as it is quite difficult to manage in high range or imitate without a natural ability. The sexual themed lyrics about women & lovin' seem common in blues songs. #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@DkoreillyMusic A valuable point, however, It is arguable that this can cause people to lose touch with some of the old music! People are always looking for what's new and popular. I enjoy the K-rock radio station; it keeps me in touch with the older stuff and what my parents liked! #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@KaylaWoodman2 It makes you realize how far technology has developed in such short time! I loved my walkman as a child, but rubbing banana peals on your CDs to fix the scratches and prevent it from skipping was quite the struggle! I definitely appreciate the "download button" speed. #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

The improved quality of headphones has made people appreciate the art/composition of music more since they can hear all the elements! Certain brands of headphones such as Apple Airpods can influence identity based on their price, grouping listeners economically. #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@HaileyCooke4 I think the point you've made also goes along with the idea of living a "luxurious" life, often idolized in the media. The main idea to make our lives easier carries an underlying message to buy what is expensive in order to elevate our social class in our minds #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

@travisrogers76 This is so true! A topic addressed in a particular song may mean nothing to one listener, causing them to be passive, and much more to another depending on interpretation or relation to their personal lives! All messages can be powerful with the correct audience! #MUNMUS2011

[Taylor White @Taylor82653790]

Items that are desirable based on who is selling them are false needs. Ex. Rhianna's Fenty Beauty makeup line / Adidas Yeezy clothing collab with Kanye. Passive listening happens, but I don't think it is intentional; powerful messages are shared and celebrated often #MUNMUS2011
