Ernest, I take your point. However......it is folk and acoustic music that has the guts to stand up and shout out about racism in the first place.....and that message, along with all the others within it..is NOT being allowed to get out!

Take for instance this wonderful man..Vinnie Jones, a blend of Bruce Springsteen and Martin Luther King:

http://www.myspace.com/vinniejames

His songs are all about man's inhumanity to man! Vinnie is part African/part Native American, so I'm sure he knows all about racism.
Take a look at his blogs on slavery and the 'n' word, he's trying to get it taken out of the dictionary, and quite right too!

But if the twits over on the Music Club board got their way, I'd not be allowed to tell people about Vinnie's music, which has the power to spread a wonderful message...and that CAN'T be right!

There is only ONE type of music...and that should be spoken about by all of us, no matter what it may be. Vinnie's music is deeply important as is the music of many others in the folk and acoustic world.

It just makes me fume that it is not having a voice out there in mainstream radio and TV....and it's time it was changed!
