Wonder what artist/song combo I would use if had to make a race-baiting 'we all hate rrrrraaap, right?' trailer.

Would you rather listen to this: *plays clip of "Fack"* or THIS: *plays clip of "Cult of Personality"*We thought so, too!

tbf one of the promos did feature Jimi Hendrix for the classic rock clip

C'mon, Hendrix is the offical "proves we're not racist" artist for classic rock stations.

Beastie Boys on alt-rock stations makes them seem more racist, not less

Love would count too except none of the listeners know that Arthur Lee was black.

I've said it elsewhere, possibly already in this thread, but it used to drive me nuts that the classic rock station I worked at would play the Blues Brothers' "Soul Man", but not the Sam & Dave version.
You could argue that hey, it's a classic rock station, in which case I'd ask then why the fuck are we playing the Blues Brothers?
― pplains, Thursday, 25 July 2013 21:49 (twelve years ago)
xp: I have never heard of a classic rock radio station that plays Love.

Maybe they're the "proves we're not racist" artist for indie record stores...

i had no idea they were even played on the radio

At least one of the classic rock stations in LA plays Love. (100.3, "The Source")

Not heavy rotation, but still.

ILXors lining up to name all the black rock musicians they know definitely proves that classic rock radio stations are racist

Playing the Blues Brothers "Soul Man" instead of Sam & Dave is one of my greatest peeves! It's such an inferior version! And it's totally racist!
― Dan I., Friday, 26 July 2013 04:13 (twelve years ago)
Haha, swear to god I used to backsell it as "And we started things off with The Blues Brothers and their inferior version of 'Soul Man". Coming up, Steve Miller, Heart and Billy Squier..."

I get the feeling that if a white kid had told the interviewer his favorite band was One Direction, it wouldn't have been spelled like that.
But maybe the ESPN producer was old and tired, I don't know.

I saw the introductory bit on ESPN and it's surprising how many of them name Yu Darvish as their favorite player. Not a single mention of Ichiro. I tell ya, the kids these days.
