Same city used to be chock full of great record stores and an employee at Sam the Record man on Yonge talked this punk kid into buying Taj Mahal Natch'l Blues. Needless to say I put the punk on the side burner....

    This might be difficult for a few to comprehend, but probably not older black folks who lived through or before the 1960's; also this comment should not be construed as a criticism per se: That being said, as I listened to this wonderful recording, I could not help but wish that, when younger men--particularly younger white men--are addressing the elder giants of another culture, that a certain "formal reverence" would be offered in their form of address. In this case, "you gentlemen" would have had a more respectful "ring," as opposed to the overly familiar and oft evoked, "you guys." It may seem like nitpicking, (clearly there was no disrespect intended to the artists or to audiences of color,) but, to some ears, there is a trigger of reminiscence of how the littlest white children were (are?) free to address the non-white "help," in any age-category, by their first names, from the vantage point of "equals" or "superiors."

    • @davidlilker2747
      @davidlilker2747 4 года назад

      Kato Jawaria- thank you for your thoughtful comment. I don't believe that the man who was speaking to Taj Mahal and Keb Mo was purposely being disrespectful, but I agree with you that the "familiarity" I hear in his voice is not appropriate. In my opinion, it is a generational problem with people of this man's age. I'm white, so I may be a bit tone-deaf to the extent that it is experienced by older black folk, but I sense that many of the younger people I encounter are a bit too "overly-familiar", if you understand my meaning. I've tought at a public high school for over twenty years, which may color my perception, but I sense that generally people are getting less socially competent as the years go on. This includes knowing when respect it due, and how to act accordingly...

      @@davidlilker2747 It was a pleasure to read your sensitive and well-measured response to my remarks. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and, moreover, for the benefits of a second perspective and another layer of insight. I agree and emphasize that it is a generalized tendency toward informality in our social forms of address that you and I have discussed, as opposed to any intended disrespect on the part of the interviewer whose level of regard seems quite the opposite and very positive. Best regards!

      Absolutely, the verbal lack of respect is clear to me, although I have a suspicion (I'm 73 and spent 40 years teaching) that Junior's "you guys" is more his generation's "we're all equal now" conceit than any racial attitude, though one can't be sure this side of truth serum.
