Document Summary
Marshal mcluhan represents the limits of english. Keith richards understood that the medium is the message, the way that it is brought forth is the way that the message is perceived. The symphony moves into the home and becomes a part of the lives of more people. Recording turns music into a one-on-on relationship, you don t need to be in the same place or the same time as the musician and there doesn t need to be a group. Artists no longer need to make the kind of music that will appeal to a large group of people because it has become a one-on-one experience. There is more expression because music no longer needs to please large groups of rich people. The medium of recorded music makes rock and roll inevitable . Without the technology in place those forms would not exist.
