So it's settled, sure there's some grey areas BUT: Paco good, Fred Durst bad.
What lies in the middle is the tough part.

Well said.

You mean, like Rock Around the Clock?

Runner, you and I are in complete agreement with your statement cited above. That is what I have been saying all along.

Nevertheless, I don't think I was "reading anything into" the statement in your previous post in which you stated: "depending on one's definition of flamenco." You appeared to imply that there can be various and different "definitions" of flamenco, and it seems at odds with your above-cited statement that "rigorous and widely-accepted definitions can be agreed upon."

There are certain parameters and characteristics that broadly define flamenco and other genres of music and art, and that differentiate them one from the other. There is an "essence" if you will, and each, including flamenco, is broadly defined by that essence, without which we have no common ground for discussion. You clearly state that in the quote cited above. It was not so clear to me in the statement: "depending on one's definition of flamenco," in your previous post.

At any rate, I think we are now in agreement.

Bill

Bill, I agree that we are actually in very close agreement on these matters. I will clarify the slight ambiguity generated by the phrase I used that has caught your eye: "depending on one's definition of flamenco". By making this statement, I did not intend to imply that there should be various and widely-differing definitions of flamenco, but only, as we both know, that advocates of this or that thesis sadly have widely and sometimes wildly different definitions of flamenco. I should have made it clear that my preference is for a broadly-shared consensus definition among those familiar with not only the techniques of, say, playing "flamenco guitar", but also with the history of flamenco. The term "flamenco" ought not be applied as the mood strikes by whomever to whatever they want to believe is flamenco.

Maybe I should write about the time I played telonero for Cream? Maybe just being in the right place at the right time. Or the wrong place at the wrong time
