I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.
Basically I listen to just about everything except heavy metal.
There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.
I end up pleading my case to alternative programmers - you're telling me that my music is too dark for pop, too pop for alternative, and urban radio won't touch it - so we have a record that doesn't fit in. And what is more alternative than that?
My YouTube videos have literally millions of views... Yet I'm still airbrushed out of the BBC Stalinist revision of history; the chart shows have been instructed not to play my music!
It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.
I don't listen to music made by white people. I especially hate anything where a guitar is used. I don't listen to white people and guitars.
English music is white - it evades everything.
I really feel that I've been unjustly exorcised from the story of psychedelic music.
