Question: Why is it that people don't listen to blues much anymore!?
None of my friend listen to blues!. They all like Rihanna and Beyonce and similar artists!. None of them have ever heard of blues artists like Blind Willie McTell or Sonhouse!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
There are still blues musicians out there, but pretty much only the new ones know who the old ones were!.

Besides, blues music has not been "pop" for several decades!. Teens and Twenties, the financial driving force of music, are rarely even exposed to it except in commercials!.

ADD: There is a great fiction book that I think you would love called The Bear Comes Home by Rafi Zabor!. http://www!.wwnorton!.com/catalog/fall98/b!.!.!.
The blues and jazz journey is captured as only a musician/writer could do it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a tough music to listen to, not easy on your ears or heart!. For example, the first time I heard Son I felt like I was kicked in the head, it had so much power and pain!. People don't like that anymore, they like music that sinks into the background and talks about sex, drugs, and guns!. also, the blues never really were mainstream to begin with, it's the slave music that come over from Africa, it never really found a home in America!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Many, many people still listen to and love the blues!. Your friends probably have never heard of Bill Haley or Richie Valens either!. Everyone has their own individual tastes!.!.!.!.believe me when I say the blues are alive and well and people will listen to the music of Son House long after Beyonce has been forgotten!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If you are in NYC, have you tried:

Your friends probably think Blues is for their parents generation!. Maybe you can suggest you and your friends go to a Blues Club, that way you can educate them on the Blues and you can explain the history of the Blues to them!.
I also enjoy The Blues!.

It is cause Blues evolved into other genres, and now have turned into other types of music!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Blues always had a specialized audience, and it still does!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Its a great musical style, but its no longer main stream!. I think that this is because there are no big new artists to keep the style out there in peoples facesWww@Enter-QA@Com
