While I would agree in limited instances (such as OTR) I must disagree
with this as a general rule.  Ricky Skaggs is bluegrass, Wil Smith is
rap/hip-hop, and B.B.King is blues - regardless of who is listening or
where they "stand."  I, myself, don't get too hung up on these
categories, except in those instances when I need them to help me despise
certain categories of pseudo-music.  Not that I'm a music snob or
anything...

ROCK ON BABY-BUBBA!
