Right on, Laurarichardson! This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in music, period. The Funkadelic chapter was a good read. It actually turned me on to their older(and best )stuff. The Bad Brains chapters were like 1st hand experieinces for me. I really like how different authors are used for all the chapters. I agree with you on the Author Lee chapter. I never knew that he went through so much. I saw an ad for one of his shows in a recent MOJO mag. Good to see him still at it. I also dug the interview w/ Slash. I still think he should've fucked Axl up for that One in a Million shit

 Great book, I just read it last November!
I had a minor issue with the cover: it just says ,"featuring Slash, Lenny Kravitz and more..."(as if that's where black rock stops and starts), but I'm sure that was the publishers idea, to generate sales... ...

Kind of took me back to my first Fishbone show. I was really happy to see whole roomful of black folks who were into rock just like me.(LOL). | |

i was shocked to find out this morning that a few months ago, james spooner, the filmaker behind "afropunk: the rock n' roll nigger experience" had a fire in his offices i want to arange a showing of the film in my area (suburban philadelphia) the film is likened to the book anyone seen the film? posture your mandables towards the sky
and oscilate them in an apathetic manner throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care | |

How do you go about getting a screening?(on the way out o' the office for the day;) go to afropunk.com we have to help mr spooner get back up and running the price for the film seems to be negotiable and considering the recent disaster i feel this is the time to approach him maybe i can spur some activity and help him regenerate funds to replace lost equipment... posture your mandables towards the sky
