i was at a 4th of july jam with like the roots and ewf and so forth. roots were doing "just push on up" and this fat white chick next to us goes "i dont relate to this song at all as a middle class white person."

kinda blunt but honest, i guess.

i think at worst it's like the people who drive through the hood on some sort of ghetto safari, at best it's some real effort at empathy. personally i dont knock it, i mean you don't have to be sad to appreciate the blues. or do you?
