    I'm with you on this. I try, not always successfully, to give all musical selections an equal opportunity to be liked or disliked by me.

    I used to represent a major window covering manufacturer and part of my territory was the City of Compton in L.A. County. I can't begin to tell you how many times I was cursed at, spat at, yelled at and had things thrown at my car simply because my skin was the wrong color for that part of town. That's the facts. So you can take your bleeding-heart, knee-jerk reaction and stick it. Better yet, try taking a little Sunday drive through Compton yourself...then we can talk about ignorance and racism. There's a big, diverse world out there, and some of it ain't so pretty.

    But Buddy Holly was really the first that wrote and recorded his own songs, which was the point of your original post.

    Meh, I try to ficus on the exceptions. I put together a lil' July compy specifically for driving around. Most of the artists would be considered fairly mainstream and, I can assure you, it hit the mark...

    Cake-"Long Skirt, Short Jacket"
    Beck- "Loser"
    Cage The Elephant- "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked"
    The Heavies- "Short Change Hero"
    Beastie Boys- "Brass Monkey"
    Gorillaz- "Clint Eastwood"
    The Black Keys- "Gold On The Ceing"
    AWOLnation- "Not Your Fault"
    Fall Out Boy- "Sugar, We're Going Down"
    Bush- "Glycerine"
    Calexico- "Love Will Tear Us Apart"
    Orgy- "Blue Monday"
    Rammstein- "Ich Will"
    Bjork- "Army of Me"
    Weezer- "Hash Pipe"
    Ofra Haza- "Im Nin'Alu"
    Five For Fighting- "The Riddle"

    How ya like them apples?
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner

    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    I've heard most of them and wish I hadn't.

    I'm sure some of things I like are not liked by everyone.

    I just gotta ask; how does this sound, and where can I find it?

    Sorry for the lag time Tamer, I missed this post...and worse yet, I don't remember which promotional disc this is off of...I'll check when I get home.

    Here's a sample though:

    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Thank you for posting that. I was going to say something to respond to Rae, but it wouldn't have been as polite as your answer.

    I can't tell if you're serious or not. Those posts are unambiguously racist and I'm surprised and bummed that they're tolerated here. I didn't respond to the attempt at a personal attack in the second post because it isn't worth my time... what exactly are you trying to stir up?

    Call it when you see it. I'm trying to be more acutely aware. I've been disappointed in a lot of what I've seen lately on boards that I go to for entertainment. There's no instruction manual on how to respond though. Good luck and Godspeed.

    Rae Rae, you and I have never had a problem and I don't anticipate having one here.

    I have no problem believing that Compton, formerly a poverty-stricken and still overwhelmingly non-Caucasian might be home to some anti-white sentiment...just as would have no problem believing that the general population of Martinsville, Indiana (birthplace of the KKK) might harbor a greater-than-average anti-minority standpoint.

    I personally didn't interpret Roy's comment to indicate that he thought that all African American folks would spit obscenities at white folks nor am I comfortable denying a member the right to share his experiences, good or ill.

    I don't think a substanitive discussion about race relations means anything if it's implied that one group/set/demographic could never be guilty of bad behavior. Everybody has some blood in this and, frankly, once the conversation gets specific (as in multiple experiences within a given community) real issues like poverty, poor education, single-parenthood, etc, can come to the forefront.

    Besides, I took the original comment in an ironic, tongue-in-cheek way. I mean, "Straight Outta Compton" and all that...

    Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities.

    If you're talking to me, I didn't take the post as racist either (see Bobsticks' response), and you jumped on the guy without having all the facts.
