It was something I wrote not for an assignment, but out of a passion I had (and still do) for the somewhat elitist concept of authenticity. My angle, you see, was what type of music was best for study in school–historically authentic–or not?
It seems of late I cannot hold myself to writing things with such academic rigor, but I still admire those that do.
