How can I be down, with most things dealing black people in america you have TO BE PART OF THE ELITE to particpate. All those artist are suppose to for the community and really for the people but the average fan can't info on how to go to a concert of a lifetime. Wattstax was for everybody not just for the few who have friends and family already working in the music industry. It's damn shame I'm the last person on earth keeping it real.....
