Many musicians agree that without him, rock music might not have existed in the same way. He had an aggressive style of play and inspired many people who would follow in his footsteps.]]> 2021-03-24 16:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348923687 The music of Link Wray inspired individuals to become musicians themselves. He made this impact through power chords, which spoke to audiences of all kinds. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348925035 2021-03-24 16:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348925035 farqcarl391 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348925693 Link Wray said that he didn't really have any rock and roll inspirations before he started to play, which helps that idea that he created a new way of making rock and roll music. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348925693 It was stated that the power chords of Link Wray were so impactful because of the chord progressions. It was said that his tone pointed the way to the future. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348938309 2021-03-24 16:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348938309 The cultural context of rock music at its core comes from Native American culture. During this time the Native Americans were suppressed completely, such as being incarcerated for playing their music. It is so unfair that those who oppressed Native Americans stole their music and took credit for it. People were slaughtered--some call it Genocide. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348948178 2021-03-24 16:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348948178 Link Wray seemed to be a major inspiration to many rock musicians today, although he, himself hadn’t thought of anything that inspired him. catherinetimms https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348953879 2021-03-24 16:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348953879 Ethan Hopkins, analysis and interpretation hopketha835 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348960675 The things that Link Wray accomplished during his career as a rock musician were astounding. He brought his power chords to the attention of the public and had them hooked because they simply hadn't heard something so powerful and intense before.  This is all the more impressive as he had no one to follow, he had to establish many of these techniques himself!]]> 2021-03-24 16:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348960675 catherinetimms https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348970450 Link Wray had really brought power chords to light, and that helped inspire many others to follow that way of rock and roll.  ]]> 2021-03-24 16:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348970450 Native Americans with darker skin decided to hide their ethnicity in order to protect themselves and prevent being sent to the Reserves. "The Indians were treated even worse than the slaves." garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348974771 2021-03-24 16:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348974771 farqcarl391 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348984127 Native American songs written in times of despair, sadness and desperation founded and helped inspire the way that blues and other music is now written. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348984127 This music is culturally relevant and meaningful today because rock and roll is one of the most popular genres of music today. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348988371 2021-03-24 16:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348988371 catherinetimms https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348989286 Rock music itself had been majorly developed from the music created by Native Americans. Now others are trying to take this music and almost make it their own without acknowledging where it has actually started. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348989286 Ethan Hopkins, consideration of cultural context hopketha835 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348997610 Much of the origins of rock music came from native American culture including many of the call and response traditions commonly seen in rock music. Its an amazing feat that this music survived as Native Americans were systematically and violently suppressed by the American government. To this day, that still scars rock music as many people don't even know that rock had its foundations based in native American culture. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348997610 Rock and roll was started when African Americans and Native Americans collaborated. Americans stole this music for themselves. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348998006 2021-03-24 16:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1348998006 The origins of rock and roll began with instruments such as the banjo, an African American instrument. Native American rock and roll valued the voice in terms of full sounding music. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349004417 2021-03-24 16:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349004417 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349014697 My initial reaction to this movie was how the power chord came to be and how alot of the music we hear today came from so may diffrent community's to creat new sounds that keep evolvin  through time.

He was Native American. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349022380 2021-03-24 16:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349022380 Rhythm was a very important factor in forming rock and roll music. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349031304 2021-03-24 16:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349031304 farqcarl391 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349037063 Charley Patton played his guitar like a drum so that he could create the music he wanted to. That method gives it the rhythm which is so important to Native American music. ]]> 2021-03-24 16:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349037063 Drums were illegal in plantations, so musicians used the guitar as the drum. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349038200 2021-03-24 16:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349038200 Howlin' Wolf influenced public figures like Mick Jagger. His roots in Indigenous culture and platform allowed him to share his culture with the world. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349059640 2021-03-24 17:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349059640 Will McMillan mcmiwill978 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349062997 I had no idea that blues and even rock had roots going back to Native American music. Very cool to see the musicians who aren’t talked about very much and witness their contribution to the kind of music I personally enjoy.]]> 2021-03-24 17:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349062997 The Reserves allowed Native Americans to make music together. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349079713 2021-03-24 17:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349079713 I have never heard of Mildred Bailey, the first female band singer, and the first female with a radio show. It's interesting to me that she publicly accredited her success to Native American music. I think it's important for celebrities to bring awareness to those causes. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349090254 2021-03-24 17:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349090254 farqcarl391 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349102471 I had never heard of Mildred Bailey either, but it was interesting to hear that people like Frank Sinatra, who I had heard of was greatly inspired by her "perfect singing". and how so many artists were inspired by the first female band singer]]> 2021-03-24 17:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349102471 mcmiwill978 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349116630 Unfortunate that the truthful history of rock/blues music is not addressed as commonly as it should be]]> 2021-03-24 17:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349116630 Buff St. Marie used her voice and power to create protest music. It connects to the time in which it was written because it was around the time of the Vietnam war, and that was what some of her music was about. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349117869 2021-03-24 17:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349117869 claraddi301 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349129268 I didn't realize how many indigenous roots their were in rock music and the music that I listen to today. you can really hear it in Charley Patton's record that they played in the movie, especially in the vocals]]> 2021-03-24 17:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349129268 The CIA blacklisted those musicians who spoke up against the government. This is the violation of the basic human right of freedom of expression. It makes me sick to think that someone was denied this right, or any right, just because of their skin colour. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349136481 2021-03-24 17:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349136481 Now that I know the origins of rock and roll, I look at the genre differently. I think a lot of people mislabel rock and roll and think it's just screaming and loud guitar, but I wish they could watch this documentary because what went into the making of it was truly remarkable. Rock and roll is one of the greatest expressions of music, and I'm encouraged to take a listen to some of the other musicians mentioned. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349169621 2021-03-24 17:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349169621 claraddi301 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349182191 Jimi Hendrix was a very important artist for the history of rock music and helped change the way people played the guitar forever.]]> 2021-03-24 17:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349182191 farqcarl391 https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349208453 Bob Dylan continued to play his shows even though the crowds all booed him and the band so that he could spread the message that he was singing 

]]> 2021-03-24 17:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349208453 Something that I think we should all reflect on no matter what is the truth behind the music that we listen to. It helps the listener understand the meaning behind the lyrics, and it pays tribute to the pioneers who faced heaps of adversity so that we could witness their work today. garynrickwood https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349214585 2021-03-24 17:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349214585 Sam https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349239192 What I thought was cool was the power chord. It was a huge step in creating rock and roll and if it was not created rock and roll may not be a thing today. ]]> 2021-03-24 17:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349239192 Initial reactions https://padlet.com/jaevans3/ysqqxcbz6ui9eqnk/wish/1349247161 I thought that it was very interesting to learn more about the origins of these types of music, because many of these artists are less known due to the suppression that they had to deal with throughout their careers
