Maybe we wll start with this...
I could be wrong here Eric but it certainly wasn't fucking green people who came up with the blues was it? Nor indeed that reggae beat that had just given you a big hit single wth your cover of Marley's 'I Shot The Sheriff'. (Maybe you'd convinced yourself that it was Robert Nesta Marley's white half that had written the song eh?)
It was that outburst that caused this letter to appear in the NME.
I remember it well and as a sixteen year old in Glasgow I started getting involved in the setting up of the RAR chapter there.
I, myself had a long, long battle with drugs and alcohol. Forty odd years actually and some of them very odd indeed but you know what? Not once did I come out with some racist crap. Crazy eh?
And now this vax crap you are coming out with where you actually manage to get the word 'discrimination' in...
You should get together with Van Morrison and Ian Brown and Richard Ashcroft and the other numpties and get a super (stupid) group together. Here's a song for you to cover. Written by a black guy but hey that's never stopped you before has it?
The year rock found the power to unite
