Black Kos, Tuesday's Chile

7. Your last paragraph

states what I was about to post. Kev's blog has me wanting to read Nancy Weiss' book to learn more.

I read your earlier OP about Mike's endorsement. I am almost elderly, and haven't been very tolerant of contemporary music for a long time; it is just a lot of noise and visuals that hurt my ears and eyes...no doubt just what my parents felt about rock and roll back in the day. At any rate, we older folks, especially white older folks, shouldn't just shrug this off as an endorsement by someone we never heard of, but recognize the significance of this culture being placed center stage in a political arena. I may not be able to withstand the pounding on my sensibilities that listening to it would require, but I don't want to remain ignorant of the underlying message or the importance of its expanding reach. I really appreciate the education I get from you much younger posters.
