The tendency for electronic music to crop up in present pop music is a testimony to the right thinking of a million ravers ten years ago in the U.S.A. and one billion more in the U.K. and Europe. This trend of domestication of the synth the drumkit the style of breaks and trance meshing into a love of simply music rather than the marginalization of one or the other due to unwarranted stigma opens the minds, opens the ears and assuages fears that rock n roll is where it ends, that hip hop alone is men's bread and butter. This life is too short to find only one dish on your plate. If you have a lot they're good mashed together like Thanksgiving dinner. And I am as always very thankful for what I've got. -jd
