Can't stop Won't stop
I have just finished reading a book called "Can't stop. Won't
stop" by Jeff Chang. This book is a history of hip-hop, mostly
before 2000. It is one of the best music books I have ever read,
because it also deals with racism and being creative in a corporate
world. I now know who Afrika Bambaataa is and the importance
of Grand master Flash. The book contains a lot of interesting
material on political organization and compromises. When I read
about the million man march in Washington, I kept thinking that
I lived in the US then. My recollection of that event was through the
prism of the media.
