The general idea of Be-Bop is that it is current‚ makes sense‚ what the colored boys play and that it is authentic. This leads to Re-Bop having the definition of being white boys play‚ an imitation‚ and complete nonsense.

I believe the man in the poem was Langston Hughes. I think its Langston Hughes because
