week 2: What are the strengthens and weakness of peterson production of culture

When looking at Peterson theory on the birth of rock n roll, he tends to look more at the theory side, rather than the practical. where as if he looked at both sides it would of strengthened his theory. Although Peterson gives us information about how rock n roll formed and what it consists of he doesn't mention anything about the sound. and what instruments are used to create rock n roll such as an electric guitar, drum kit and microphone. His theory gives us an idea of how rock n roll music derives from industry structure, organization structure, and occupational career. In which is useful to understand the production of culture. He also does not mention the artists, who produces the music, which i feel that not knowing about the sound and artist is not enough to understand rock n roll. Peterson also talks about the technology used, such as shellac discs, and vinyl records which was used to put music on, shows us today how technology has developed.
