Taubman is fairly modest about his pioneer status. He apparently didn't set out to be a Jewish Elvis. But the comparison squares nicely with the turf. The history of Jewish music goes back more than 4,000 years. Early Christians borrowed heavily from it.
Religion is ancient memory.
Music is part of it. In the year 3999, you may need to spin a Taubman CD to fully understand early 21st century Judaism. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Jews and their Christian counterparts are wondering how to keep people interested and on message. Rockers like Taubman may have one of the answers. Both are at the 5075 W. Maple, West Bloomfield.
