Cory Doctorow: Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll
Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll est le titre d'un nouvel article de Cory Doctorow.
C'est à lire ici :
I once gave a (now-notorious) talk at Microsoft Research about Digital Rights Management (http://craphound.com/msftdrm.txt) where I said, in part, "New media don't succeed because they're like the old media, only better: they succeed because they're worse than the old media at the stuff the old media is good at, and better at the stuff the old media are bad at."
I'd like to take that subject up with you today. Specifically, I'd like to examine it in light of the ancient principle of "Close enough for rock 'n' roll," and all that that entails.
What, exactly, does "close enough for rock 'n' roll" mean? Does it mean that rock 'n' roll isn't very good, so it doesn't matter if the details are a little fuzzy? I say no. I say that "close enough for rock 'n' roll" means: "Rock 'n' roll's virtue is in its exuberance and its accessibility to would-be performers. If you want to play rock 'n' roll, you don't need to gather up a full orchestra and teach them all to read sheet music, drill them with a conductor and set them loose in a vaulted hall. Instead, you can gather two or three friends, teach them to play a I-IV-V progression in 4/4 time, and make some fantastic noise."

Et si ça se trouve ton fils il écoutera du heavy rap, ou du breakbeat hardcore, ou un autre truc bruyant qui sera à la mode à ce moment-là.manu a écrit :mon pere a offert un t-shirt avec le meme texte à mon fils de 7ans ... j'espere que le nombre de db n'augmente pas avec la generation , faudrait déménagerIt's rock 'n' roll, and if it's too loud, you're too old.
