What people, other than injuns, don’t know, is what this drummer guy Phillips was singing. It was the AIM song, or American Indian Movement song. Some of you are probably familiar with AIM, they’re long time radicals. I, and many other indians, don’t like them, they’re trouble makers and usually dangerous.
It’s more of an angry song, not a peace song. He can sell his Buffalo sh*t to someone who might believe him. He wasn’t there to make peace.

I listened to a lot of talk radio today and the description “beating a drum” or “ banging a drum” does not convey the physically intimidating nature of the drumstick. If Phillips has been beating a drum with his hand while the drum was near his waist or chest, though still not nice, it would have been far less intimidating.
