Melvin Van Peebles ~ Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

NICE... one of my favourite tracks from him is 'c'mon feet'- i prefer the play version to the film version (i hate that film, sweet sweetback'. surprisingly, i know a lot of people who do).

i would say 'you don't need to', but you may feel different. it opens with mario van peebles (as a CHILD) having sex with a prostitute. that's all i'll say.
