This seems to be where our cookie cutter tastes begin to crumble. I can't say that I
love Zydeco, but some of the rawer stuff strikes me as a pretty cool blues based dance music. I'm more into what a post punk take on it like Doo Rag can do, but can't deny that Professor Longhair is one of the founders of rock'n roll either.
I get the contempt for NPR yuppies embracing zydeco, but really these days that demographic is more likely to embrace Radiohead as, gulp, we're all getting a bit older. Seriously, when I heard an NPR profile on Wire during All Things Considered I was like, damn, here I am listening to NPR on my drive home from work, and they figured out a band I worship to talk about. Guess I better go get a bottle of Evian to drown my sorrows in...
