I DID NOT NOTICE that the musicians of Mother's Finest were black, apart from the bass player, I was fascinated by the groove of that great funk rock band.

This is very confusing. Young black people with a crappy barrier in their brain. They had just to close their eyes listening to Joe Cocker's black music.

JJIII what about the uniting reconciling character of music? I can understand that young black and white people in the late sixties liked to be amongst each other but a music festival - isn't that an exceptional event?????

Finnbow what you say about this Delta fest is astonishing as well...

I guess you would have to have grown up here in the U.S.A. to understand just how separated the races were and are still. In some ways things are better but we have leaders, both black and white, that gain monetarily from stirring up as much hatred as they can.
