I miss David so much. such a intelligent and thoughtful human being.
- There was a documentary series on MAX, I think. It was amazing
I love how he wouldn't drop it, was polite but firm in his stance and 100% right at the time MTV ignored black music.
- MTV ignored black music because most radio stations did. MTV was a big risk and the financiers weren't looking to take risks on pushing a new genre of music that wasn't mainstream with most audiences at that time.
  
  That's a poor excuse that doesn't justify anything.
No-one needs anyone, they don't even just pretend

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
