I had some good ideas in my head, and some bad ideas in my head. I was indie not the upper-middle indie to upper-class child of privilege that Dani (America’s Top Racist, or whatever she’s trying to be, in the clip referenced above…) appears to be, since I had gone to fully integrated public schools, my mother had been an activist with the Urban League and I had played music in all sorts of bands when I was a teenager. However, I still had some persistent misconceptions about what indie it means to be Black in America, and I was headed for a collision with one member of Congressman Lewis’ staff. *sigh* I hate to even tell this story. Moving along. So, we’re stuffing envelopes, one night, late. Me and John (my roommate, not the Congressman) and the Congressman’s Legislative Assistant. (I just called Lewis’ office to try and see if anyone could remember his name, and everyone was like “Wow, 20 years ago? Mmmmm…. nope.”) When I got to DC, I almost immediately fell into a musical situation playing in a Blues band.
