“I think the two basic types of music indigenous to this country are the blues and the folk music that was brought over from Europe, I guess they call it country music, the kind of West Virginia high lonesome sound… those are the two main streams of root American music, there might be others, I don’t know. Ten years ago, what they called rock and
roll was a blending of those two forms… I guess the new generation’s music will have a synthesis of those two elements and some third thing, it might rely heavily on electronics. I can envision one person with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronic setups, singing or speaking and using machines…”—Jim Morrison, 1969 (via poortaste)
