I'm a bit confused by the emboldened word. How can it progress when there's all sorts of veins not explored (or at least not deeply enough). Plus it has absorbed and processed such other musics as jazz and classical. What thrills me most is that rare artist who takes extant, vintage materials and refashions/ reinvents--one such was John Fogerty but here's others like James Hunter. Jazz has absorbed hip-hop elements; Classical has invented several strains in these last 150 years; Reggae has put its spin on all manner of American forms, then moved on. Where can Rock or Rock&Roll move to? Not being a buster; serious question--What elements are left to explore/absorb/invent?
