Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national(国家的) star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk (民间)music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is western or country music. This was started by cowboys(牛仔)who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the 1ove between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
