I honestly didn’t think that in 2019 we’d be litigating the late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s NY music scene.
I doubly didn’t think it’d be necessary to point out the seminal influence of Black musicians on a scene where one of the figureheads calls himself
James White btw
I DO get tired of this.
One of the reasons I’ve avoided keying in on the ‘early ‘80’s part of my resume (a lot of people don’t know I was the bass player in the Contortions late ‘79/ early ‘81)
is I can’t really talk about it without dealing with the issue of race & racism
