Default Today was a first for me...

I was out driving today, and of course in White Plains there are a million gangstamobiles with obnoxious stereos cranking out shitty hip hop and R&B.

So imagine my shock when a big, distinguished-looking black guy in a suit pulls up next to me in a pimped-out Escalade blasting this at 11:


I had to roll down my video and give him the horns, which he returned with a grin.

Generalizations are overrated.

How do you roll down a video? I've been trying for years with no luck.

Black people created the blues, man. It's THEIR music.

Having black skin in this country has a lot to do with the invention of the blues, but has no bearing on one's ability to play it. See OP and this:
