That's a ridiculous contentions. Black people? Do you really want list of all the white rock musicians who missed shows, or did much, much worse? I don't really have the time for three days of typing.

And it's not even rock, you could have a whole list of country musicians who missed shows.

Oh, and one about Hank Williams? He was known for missing his own shows - so much he was kicked out of the Grand Ole Opry because of it, and he's still not in it today.

Is Hank Williams black?
