How do you think the Blues and Jazz came about? sex drugs and money? no chance.

John Lennon for example, and hence, The Beatles; (although I think McCartney was the genius behind the actual music which made them so successful).

Bowie, Dylan, the list goes on.

It all falls under 'politics', I reckon though that you must refer to it differently.
So nobody singing the Blues was singing about feeling unloved or their wife leaving? Cheating on them, being alone or anything like that?

Actually Blues is a pretty broad term. I dont think one thing inparticular inspired it. As much as a variety of hard times down on your luck situations. A multitude of things could cause that. In Blues it seems the most popular is woman problems, but again its a loose term.

I heard the Freemasons done him in - for revealing Masonic secrets in his opera, The Magic Flute.

drugs...a lot of songs are about sex, but a lot of people write those songs when they're on drugs.

Male men? Are there other kinds of men?

I dont think theres anyway to accuratley depict which one of these would be correct. All had a significant impact on music for ages now. Very interesting topic to say the least though. Makes it fairly easy to read into what someones main influence is for them is. Just based off what their answer. Each could make a case for making a gigantic impact.
