We should never
underestimate the power that has come through black Americans
'sticking it to' and 'schooling' their oppressors in the form of
(still) unanswerable cultural statements, whether it is Prince being
booed offstage in front of a hometown audience and then returning
with 1999, or Bad Brains playing faster, louder and better
than any white band could imagine. One lesson: 'and better' does not
mean 'out-compete': All u white people clap yr hands, on four,
now... I only want u to have fun.... (astounding vox interplay
here with Jill, Lisa, Mark and Dez!) #prince
