I think this concept of “Love and Theft” applies to so much more than just music especially when it comes to the concept of a show imaginations. I thought first of color blindness when thinking about “racial imagination” and how people find comfort in admitting that color blindness this is maybe the key to equity and liberation. I think I was concepts we can circle back to how these concepts and ideas and the definition of these only benefit those who came up with them. The people that wrote history and defined these terms wrote them in benefit of their own circumstances and not the circumstances of their black and brown counterparts. zIt all comes back to you love and theft and how these white men throughout rock history and music history have taken credit and become famous and capitalize off of the original works of black and brown people. Again the people that have created these terms that we have learned this week: racial imagination and racial recording of a genre, have created a long standing history of music. The history that we are all familiar with. From the lessons this week I have learned that I even was more ingrained into this rock as a narrative that I was aware of.
My music to share for the week is this song:
This has been on my favorite songs right now but from the start of a course I learned about the narrative of women in music and how they have been left out in many ways. This song is this music video made me think of how it was hard at one time for women to be vulnerable in the music and share with the world this vulnerability and especially their romantic life.
