It has always been difficult for me to decide (21) ____ "popular music"
means music written for the people or it is simple music that the people
like. The same problem of definition exists with jazz. So (22) ____
different types of music have been called jazz at one time or (23) ____ that
is hard to say what it really is. Jazz has always been considered (24) ____
black music but when I first took an interest in it I used to hear white
bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrong's in the 1920s. I found
out (25) ____ that they learn to do this by playing his records over and
over again until their style was (26) ____ to his for them to imitate him.
Since then white singers (27) ____ Bob Dylan have rediscovered their
own folk tradition, instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main
changes since 1960 have been social and technical. One is that (28) ____
have more money to spend on records at an earlier age than they used to,
so Tin Pan Alley, the "pop music" industry, aims at the teenage audience.
Another is that electronic equipment has developed (29) ____ extent that
technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that
are quite different from a live performance. But the real problem with
"pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against (30) ____ a
genuine music of the people. It takes everything original and natural out of
it and replaces it with cheap commercial imitation. As the American folk
singer, Woody Guthrie said: "They've always preferred the second-rate
song. They've never wanted to play the good one."
