  Bill Haley was white. A big part of the white folk music was always primal, inane and simplistic. Like some old Irish folk songs, take Whiskey In the Jar for example. Are you gonna tell me that's a mature song ? Yet that song is easily translated into a Rock song, like Thiny Lizzy and Metallica did it.  Jerry Lee Lewis probably did more country music in his life than Rock 'N Roll.  Exactly just because early rock n' roll was primal, rowdy, overtly sexualized and such doesen't mean it's of Black origin. Not all White people are saints y'know, the Scots Irish hillbillies and rednecks who rock n' roll owes it's roots to more than anyone else have always been a rather rowdy and unruly, hard drinking bunch of folks. :cool: Actually..so have most Irish and Scottish people in general. I'm predominantly Irish me self I should know, drinking and brawling is just in my blood I suppose :clink:D
