Couple of years ago we had a very enlightening thread posted here titled "Who owns the blues". At first I didn't quite get what people were saying and I thought it was stupid statement. But it slowly became clear to me what people were getting at and I had a real light bulb moment while reading it...opened my mind a bit more to other peoples points of view.
Anyway, I was reading this article today on the BBC website and it really reminded me of what we had been talking about. I found this a very interesting article and hope you do too.
