Gladys Knight

[black francis]

At my new place of employment a good number of my co-workers are black and apparently I've sufficiently impressed them enough to merit knighthood as an honorary black man.

Probably no coincidence that I've since discovered this song and can't stop listening to it.

Interesting, because without having done a survey as such, over here at least we don't get many black dudes at bunnymen gigs, mostly white ones of a certain age, stature and amounts of hair. As we know - unless its different in the states. When me and Mrs FC went to see OMD the other year she was moved to point out that there were loads more women there than you ever see at a bunnymen gig. We didn't discuss the audience any more than that as we were occupied watching mcclusky who was bouncing around the stage like a small child who'd forgotten his ritalin.

Gladys though - good one. My paternal granny was called Gladys.

I love this place, mine was called Violet by the way.

Both of my grandmothers were named Margaret.

And unless I'm mistaken, I have been the only black dude at the various Bunnymen shows I've attended.

No justice no peace!
