one of my fav music quotes is.... "Sad in the 20th century, in the 1990s, we still have to go thru the same bullshit route that other artists had to go to get acceptance. If it wasnt for the independents, if it wasnt for the small little cities, and the few little ghetto guys trying to make music, it would of never happened. Some of these guys will never make a dime. Some of these guys will be poor and die alone. But in the process theve been the true rengrades. And the true rebel always walks alone anyway."
which i !think! is Derrick May sampled (from a tv doc) on E-Z Rollers - "Retro" on Moving Shadow. Though Ive never had this confirmed, could anyone shed any light on this. +++++++++ Also - "one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain" - Marley +++++++++ > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Prince [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > The polemical utterances of dead white male intellectuals/poets have their > place, but give me the home truths of living black musicians anyday, thanks. > > Moodymann's props (+ controversial words of advice to those like m***y) > from 1997 tell it like it really is: "to all the unknown artists, > producers and djs from around the globe, believe it or not, you're the > ones keeping it live and real, all of the older brothers and sisters that > are musicians that have never really made a dime but have more talent than > most of the people in the business, and to all you white suburban kids, > sampling black music all the time, try some rock 'n roll for a change, > you're making black music sound silly, weak and tired and most of all a > stranger." > >
