Subject: RE: 3 days of urban black music
Bill, as I found out, not all of it is that negative..but I hear your point. One of the saddest times in my life was finding out (first hand) that an absolute bluegrass hero of mine was still a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and in his younger days had gone on many a terror foray. It made me sick, and even though I know (from his implication) that there were many others, it's still hard to listen to his wonderful music. What I learned was to not ask personal questions, 'cause my enjoyment of the music is too important to me.
