Roth Gets The Boot!

Roth's magnetic radio personality was not enough to attract Sterns listeners. I have listened to the show, off and on. It sounded like a washed up rocker who was forced to get early to talk about his music-oriented experiences (which sucked). I stopped listening to him after a monday morning (4/17/06) comment..."when is the last time you seen a black guy with a guitar"...that pissed my off considering I'm a black guy who plays guitar. When we know, because of the history of rock, that if there were no black guys with guitar, he would not have had a career. Alan Freed is championed the gatekeeper of rock, and is put on the same level as the people who actually created the music. I'm sick of society in amerikkka pretending like black people have no rights to use or even hold a guitar. "Elvis made rock 'n' roll sexy, scary and safe at the same time, and he helped white people to identify with a predominantly black genre". The banjo is an african instrument brought over during slavery. Image what bluegrass or country would be without the banjo. I'm kinda of straying from the topic, but I felt that it needed to be said.

p.s., his show is being taken over by opie and anthony a.k.a "Stupid White Males with Mics"

Amerikkka has a serious problem with race and shows like the ones mentioned above only fuel the fire!
