Black popular music of all kinds when I was growing up was artful, often brilliant and full of poetry.
I can’t stand to listen to much of what they call ‘music’ today.
I lived in the Detroit area for a time when I was younger.
Those people who created Motown were geniuses.
I mean, flat-out geniuses. Listen to them talking about it decades later and I am in awe about how they were thinking so far ahead at so many different levels. How the fact that Ford Motor Company used to buy blocks of tickets to the Detroit Symphony and give them away to school children inspired them.
Certainly puts a lie to the tenet of Liberal racism that black people are stupid.
