Black History Month 2023
A couple of years back, I did an episode called \u201cThe Diversity Show\u201d...it ran in February as part of Black History Month...the goal was to salute the contributions of people of African descent to the world of rock...\nIt was quite the list...Jimi Hendrix...we had to talk about Jimi, one of the greatest guitarists of all time...then there was Death,\xa0\xa0a criminally overlooked band from Detroit called Death who were about 20 years ahead of their time...\nWe talked about Bad Brains, the great hardcore band from DC...we moved to English for discussions about Ska stars The Specials and The English beat...the punk-funk of Fishbone, the metal crunch of both Living Colour and Ice-T\u2019s and BodyCount\nAnd we included Lenny kravitz, Bloc Party, Bakar, Kenny Hoopla, and more...\nBut the list was incomplete, of course...there was only so much time and there are so many people and events we need to talk about...so let\u2019s spread the recognition around a little more for Black History Month 2023...\nLearn more about your ad choices.
