Oh my goodness, Derrick MAY said this? I wasnt aware.. Hoo-boy, is my half-German, half-Mexican face RED!!!! how embarrasing! All this time I was under the illusion that its just music, for all the United Colors of Benetton to bond as one and enjoy as one earth people. *waves glo-stix,grinds teeth* ... Im sorry Derrick!!! ALL my Techno is for sale now, I must right my wrongs!!!!! --Catch a clue Kelley, MOST (maybe not all) music we talk about on this list (rock,rap,breakbeat,funk,jazz,hiphop,house,dub,,electro) was pioneered/created by black people! (Kraftwerk excluded of course) whats your friggin point??? :P ernie PS- Sorry all, I get frisky on Fridays.. woo-hoo! This rain may cause the thermometer to plunge below the 100 degree mark!!!
