When I speak out loud You say I'm crazy

When I'm feeling proud You say I'm lazy

I look around and see the true reality

You like our hair You love our music

Our culture's large, so you abuse it

Take time to understand, I'm an equal man

History's a lie that they teach you in school

A fraudulent view called the golden rule

A peaceful land that was born civilized

Was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its pride

When I'm at work you say I'm great

You watch and ponder, but can you relate?

Inviting eyes hands drop, when the music stops

Don't ask me why I play this music

It's my culture, so naturally I use it

I state my claim to say, it's here for all to play

It's time for a change

Concepts rearrange

Can't you feel my rage...

It's up to you to seek the truth

To know your history, the difference between me and you

Relate to me as me, not what you see on TV

Always had a lot of time for Living Colour I have to say with Muzz Skillings or Doug Wimbish on bass. Always a great selection of covers played and releasing 'Bi' as a single I suspect involved a bit (a lot?) of pushing back against their record company. A band that should have been much bigger than they are. And as for Vernon Reid's guitar work...

Also that mix coming in at 44mins29 secs. Where's a C-90 when you need one? (Well that and a decent cassette deck)

Little Red Dansette (1976) Mix

I was just searching for some posts on Facebook and well couldn't find what I was after but I did find this from 2019:

With the spate of very hip top ten teenage album lists recently I thought I'd make a mix of the sort of stuff I was listening to at the halfway point of being a teenager. So here's what could have pissed off my parents through the bedroom wall one night in July 76. (How LOUD could a Dansette go?) Funny tho how we listen to music differently now...I still know every word to these songs but count yourself lucky you didn't hear me singing (?) along in the last couple of hours
