1} The author is trying to find out more about the authenticity of musicians. The research
Question guiding his work is, does the rock bands live up to the accusation of not being
authentic. is their performance and their music such that it is lowering the reputation of the
spirit of music.
2} The author quotes from the radio station NME music radio news letters, books and books
from other authors to build his arguement. books from the author Richard Dyer, Bill Flanagan
and also Simon Frith. Simon Frith was the former rock music critic and sociologist who was
also specialized in popular music culture.
3} I see others around me attempting to establish their authenticity by trying to stay original
in what they do and by being realistic with their music, such as the late Bob Marley, he sang
about rignteousness about his roots and culture.

I like your example of having "roots" as a way of expressing that someone is authentic, just like we may someone is "grounded." There's a lot of spatial metaphors that deal with soil, roots, ground, and such that suggest realism.
