Document Summary
Music was targeted at a black audience, but it was broadcasted it goes everywhere. You can have an intended audience, but all sorts of other people may be stumbling on to it. A brand new demographic after wwii - middle class teenagers: before wwii no teenagers thrown into adult hood. Go to school until 10,11 or 12 and then you had to get a job, start contributing. The united states comes out of wwii, it played a terrible price in terms of lives lost and cost, but because of geography it remained isolated from the attacks: it was protected by the pacific and atlantic ocean. It had railway lines, transport systems, everything you need for a major industrial economy. 1945 the war ends and they come home to a country of state of the art factories. Factories turning out tanks, now turning out car. Little tweaks from turning out military things into consumer goods.
