Interesting Little Documentary

Have you ever thought about the evolution of music? How life-changing events and struggles a large group of people endure together can change how they express themselves? Last night, while flipping through my plethora of cable stations, I stumbled across a documentary on VH1 Classic called, "NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell." Different influential artists of the time such as Afrika Bambaataa and Blondie speak about how hip-hop, punk and even disco came to be. Poor economy forces schools to push-out music classes and the .44 Caliber Killer is on the loose. All of these events, people and creativity converge to create this poineering time in music. Check-check-a-check it out... http://www.vh1classic.com/view/playlist/1566482/167446/VH1_Rock_Docs_NY77_The_Coolest_Year_in_Hell/NY77_Afrika_Bambaataa/index.jhtml
