Eric Harvey wrote the following paragraph in an article on the "Social History of the MP3"
"As a result, radio executives banded together to form the rival BMI, and set about scouring the country for new talent. The hillbillies and juke-joint bluesmen they found were recorded in storefront studios using new and affordable means of putting music on tape, pressed on the cheap, sturdy discs RCA had just patented, and delivered around the country to fly-by-night radio stations and jukeboxes. Oh, and along the way, they invented rock'n'roll."
I'm curious if this is written for the Pitchfork crowd or if this will make its way into his dissertation.
Either way its a pretty limited view
