[speaker001:] Okay, well, um,
[speaker002:] What kind of music do you like?
[speaker001:] I, um, I was thinking about it for a long time, and I like basically almost every form of music and type of music. Um, I don't have a whole lot of dislikes. I, um, like jazz, um, especially the blues, and, uh, I like, uh, a lot of the, uh, of course the classics, um, everything back from Bach and, and Beethoven and Chopin and, um, just in general everything.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Um, I enjoy, uh, a lot of the, the modern forms, um, uh,
[speaker002:] Do you like, like rock and those kind of things
[speaker001:] Right, right.
[speaker002:] punk even.
[speaker001:] Uh, well,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] that gets, some of the punk, um, when I was in high school, that was, uh, one of the big things, was punk music, and, uh, a lot of it is, has a lot to say, or some of it has a lot to say, the music does, the lyrics do, but the, the actual,
[speaker002:] I don't think they have a whole lot to say, even [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Uh, well, it, it's, it's, it really expresses some of the opinions of, of the people who enjoy the music
[speaker002:] Yeah, I guess.
[speaker001:] um, but as far as a musical art form, I just don't see a whole lot of art to it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] Do you like rap?
[speaker001:] Um, some of it, um, it depends. I like, uh, the rap, the two types of rap I like, or I enjoy to listen to, and one is the, the rap that is just funny, um, and they usually do a lot of satire
[speaker002:] Yeah
[speaker001:] um.
[speaker002:] that kind I kind of like.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] Some of it is kind of
[speaker001:] Right, the monotonous
[speaker002:] pointless, yeah.
[speaker001:] the monotonous, no that's not, I don't enjoy that at all
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] when they're just talking about, well, I'm better than you, and blah, blah, blah. I don't like
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] that. I like the funny, satire, and then some of it is, some of it actually gets into some serious discussions of problems in our, in
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] urban society. It really does. It talks about, um, race relations and police relations and, um, that, that
[speaker002:] I guess I don't really care to listen to rap that much except for once in a while some of the funny
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] more satire kind some times. Um, I'm, with you though, I like classical
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] um, I don't like to listen to it all the time, but, um, some of the time, anyway. I like easy listening, just kind of, you know, I guess I don't care much for rock and roll any more. I used to like it all right, but I don't really care to listen to it any more for some reason. Um, let's see. Country western, uh, I'm not quite as big on that. Some of it's okay, uh
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's, that's about my opinion of that [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It's, it's okay, um,
[speaker002:] Some of it kind of falls in the rap category I guess, so [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Um. The thing about country western that I don't enjoy is is, doesn't seem to be any imagination behind it
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] the, one country and western song sounds like every other,
[speaker002:] a lot of them,
[speaker001:] country and western
[speaker002:] sound, uh, really similar, yeah.
[speaker001:] and so the, the musicians don't get to really get into their music. They just play a certain number of chords
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] the drummer plays a certain beat, and you have a country and western song
[speaker002:] Um.
[speaker001:] and,
[speaker002:] Well, that's kind of the way I feel about rock and roll sometimes, too, I guess. They don't really, has kind of the same sound over and over, and the other thing I don't like about it is they have a tendency to play the instrumental so loud that you can't understand what the lyrics are
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] you can't understand what they're saying on some of those songs
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] which probably is just as well on some [LAUGHTER] of them, too.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah. And I can't say that I like a lot of the modern, the very, very
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] modern, uh, rock and roll, but I, I definitely, I really enjoy the fifties, the sixties and a lot, some of the seventies
[speaker002:] Yeah
[speaker001:] rock and roll
[speaker002:] earlier things.
[speaker001:] and, uh, I really enjoy, especially the sixties...
