White Flag

Stupefyingly thorough, four-page article listing and describing the careers of every black person ever in punk and “new waveâ€? bands covering 1976 – 1983. If you were into that sort of thing back then, you probably think you were pretty right about the slim percentage, but trust me after reading this you’ll realize you never knew. A fascinating read.

I always thought the black guy in Devo was under-represented.
A black dude in a punk band is so un-Hollywood.
