Long live house indeed! Certainly its not purrfect but and at many levels it breaks down (racial) barriers, I know it did for me. Until I got into deep house in the US, I was simply not used to spending lots of time in majority black environments.
Lots of good stuff to read here, thanks.
By the way, I know for a fact that Francois K and Marshall Jefferson checked in on this thread %)%)
To me house music (and all its derivations) is perfect. House music represents joy and life and happiness, it is the purest embodiment of positivity. There is no negativity in house. The innovators put their hearts and souls their personalities into the music they were creating and its beautiful. I doubt they had any idea what they were unleashing onto the world. Its a great contribution to your modern history, for all the negative aspects one can summon up when they think of modern America, and there are a few lets be honest, house is an antidote to all of it, it is a conduit of positivity, created by a bunch of gospel worshipping black americans who loved life and used that medium to express it.
Its also great to dance to on acid or ecstasy :D
