This was a groundbreaking concert. NO FIGHTING, NO BANGING, just great music from the great Stax Records provided as a gift to the town of Los Angeles. No East Coast/West Coast Rivalry... non of that Rapper crap! Just a great time! It lead to the Funk Festivals with Funkadelic, Parliament, Bootsy's Rubber Band, ConFunkShun, the BarKays, and so many more! with over 100,000 people!! When LA knew how to party on a nationwide level! I miss those days... CALIFORNIA SOUL INDEED!!

The music industry is often more interested in capitalizing on America's musical heritage than celebrating it. Although the two can co-exist, industry executives found it more profitable to co-opt a sound and cross it over to a larger, more affluent audience. I'm sure these artist's could empathize with the frustration of being left out of the American dream or played out in it's pursuit.

Yes we are the Gods of the planet and that fact makes our albino children so mad. That is why they do all they can to hold us back.

Depends from person to person. No matter where in this world. Be it from the inside or the outside. Some people look beautiful outside but don't have a beautiful soul (unfortunately). Not all "blacks" are "beautiful", not all "hispanics" are, not all "whites", not all chinese people etc. etc. etc. ;)
