I mean sure, I agree with that… the material conditions always matter. But I’d argue that the ideology of the “great genius song-writer” is what is underwritng that, if that makes sense?
yeah, it was never an either-or thing… I’m just arguing that the ideology of rock music was built on the great man paradigm… and that is always juxtaposed with the supposedly “inauthentic” pop music that was seen as “more” corporate…
