  2. No one really complains that white people 'stole' Rock Music today at least, although some black musicians in the 50s might have been a bitter about how events played out, ie. rock music is big when it's performed by white people. In its original form, it does originate from the black community, rock music was a fusion of both black and white music. An interesting little set of paragraphs i found on jahsonic, a music culture site....

    "Both [rap and rock] originated within the African American community and both were initially recorded by small, independent record labels and marketed almost exclusively to a black audience. In both cases, the new style gradually attracted white musicans, a few of whom began performing it. For rock'n roll it was a white American from Mississippi, Elvis Presley, who broke into the billboard magazine popular music charts. For rap it was a white group from New York, the Beastie Boys."

    And this from legendary Rock music critic, Lester Bangs:

    "Of course Rock’n’Roll is part of a whole tradition of American music that goes back. Really what I think it is the tradition of miscegenation. It’s that tradition of black and white, getting together to create this thing that reached it’s ultimate fruition beginning with Elvis. Well it carried on when Mick Jagger came out and sang all these Muddy Waters blues songs. And I guess it even carries on today when The Clash do ‘Police and Thieves’ a Reggae song originally done by Junior Marvin I think? And it’s a conditional tradition of miscegenation of black and white music coming together to form something new. . That is really vital and healthy"

    So yeah, although the roots of rock n' roll are in black music, the genre is much bigger than that and has so many different foundational influences no one can really claim it soley, one way or the other.

  3. See my edited post up above yours,

    He's played VERY well in the VB series, and more than deserves his spot in the current side, on CURRENT form. Take a look at the stats i referenced, there's no way pakistan could justify dropping him.

    You say he had an ordinary series with the ball, in a team context he perfomed well.

    5th best bowling averages in his team

    3rd higest wicket taker in his team

    1st (best) economy rate in his team

    And he's not even a specialist bowler, far from it, and he's out performed specialist bowlers in the team, when coupled with his excellent form with the bat (avg. 43.5, SR of 170!), there's tonnes of players they need to drop before him, and NO ONE better than him that is not already in the side.

  4. I wasnt hating on Shoaib, chill :P I was merely making an observation, that as a team, pakistan have been playing alot better since he left, it seems as if the rest of the bowlers, rana in particular, have really stepped up to fill the void his departure left in the bowling attack, and i never mentioned sami ;)
