I love that song.

[NightWatcher]

3. I want to hear some Parliament Funkadelic

this is where we go for requests, right Mr DJ?

[BeyondGeography]

4. As long as we stay away from The Undisputed Truth, we should be fine

[janetblond]

7. WAY too much "BET" for me ...

Whoever coordinated the entertainment screwed up.
Shame on Barack.
I thought this was supposed to be "inclusive".
Why do I feel like I'm watching a civil rights event?
tsk, tsk ....
NOT appealing to the NASCAR crowd.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania .... NOT today!
Jennifer Hudson sounded awful.
Fergie would've been better.

[NightWatcher]

10. WOW, sorry you feel that way, but "BET-as you put it" is American Music

fuck the "nascar crowd" do you really think they'll be swayed?
Tonight is for us, not them

[Dr Fate]

18. Without Black musical influences, there is ZERO American music.

Besides military marches & boring old church/classical stuff.

This includes Country too- no Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Sr, Bob Wills or Patsy Cline w/o Black influences...

[Dr Fate]

15. Here is a clue: The majority of black music purchases is by white people.

Including white people in WV and Penn.

A good bit of the Motown stuff-as well as modern R & B was marketed with white-teen audiences in mind.

Fergie & her group is a major BET staple, BTW.

Your "concern" is noted.

[goodgd_yall]

16. You missed the string band earlier---that's not anybody's fault but your own. n/t

[Dr Fate]

19. Yup- a good half hour of hard-core blue-grass & country-folk- good stuff!

n/t

[Shakespeare]

20. Yeah, that bluegrass group is just SO...so....ghetto.

Are you fucking for REAL?

[Median Democrat]

21. Psst, The Members of U2 Are White In Case You Didn't Know

[Jazzgirl]

22. LOL!!!!

I want to see them bring the try of joints down to the audience!!!! :+

[sufrommich]

5. Wouldn't it be great if he walks on the stage to

the tune of "What's going on"?

[BeyondGeography]

6. Mercy, Mercy Me!

[janetblond]

9. No!! Hello??? Is black music the only music there is?

The entertainment SUCKS!
Who's up next? Ludicris?
The NASCAR crowd ain't watchin' this BET crappola.
I'm very disappointed.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Why don't you start your own bitching about the music thread and get the fuck out of this one?

[my2sense]

29. bwahahah - just say how you really feel.

:rofl: :rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

30. Hey, it worked

:hi:

[my2sense]

31. Yeah - he/she was asking for it - I have your back

not that you need help.

:rofl:

[sufrommich]

13. All righty then.

:eyes:

[Shakespeare]

23. You have a problem with black music?

Or with black folks in general? Well?

And you must not be paying close attention, because they're playing a broad range of music.

[Median Democrat]

24. So, You Are Saying That The Band U2 Is Black? I Guess You Will Say We Are All Insured Next

[ProSense]

25. Melissa Etheridge is black?

:wow:

[Median Democrat]

26. Hmm, Sheryl Crow Also Looks White, Never Saw Her On BET

I would suggest that you take the hood off, because it must be obscuring your vision if you think that U2 and Sheryl Crow are black.

[Dr Fate]

27. Bullcrap- Red State people LOVE Top-40 music, by black & white artists.

Look at the past 50 years of popular music- it is one of the few areas where people really are color blind.

And as others have pointed out, U2 , Cheryl Crow, Melissa Ethridge and Bluegrass bands are also playing today.

Yet you propose that Fergie of the R&B Band Black Eyed Peas is your idea of an artist that appeals to NASCAR dads? You are all over the map on that one.

[my2sense]

28. Unless my eyes are deceiving me Sheryl Crow is on right now n/t

I don't think she's black.

[Liberal Dose]

8. I want the convention soundtrack!! nt

[goodgd_yall]

12. Yeah, they should sell it and the proceeds go toward the Obama campaign

or another worthy Democratic cause.

[Liberal Dose]

14. Great idea! Wish there was a suggestion box. nt

[ProSense]

17. That would be awesome.

This Party is rocking.
