Subject: RE: Why doesn't anyone talk about Leadbelly?
Oh, sheesh. You white boys (note the lower case w) have soo much angst. He was a Black man selling his song to buck up some bucks. He never made no money from his songs.

He never sang blues. He also never sung the blues. He wrote songs he felt. And there were few who'd piss him off. Inside or outside. NOW, get yer 12-string GUITar and tell me about it. In music or words.
