@kelseyvanhalen “Scared to death of Black faces” THIS WAS 40 YEARS AGO!
for anyone who wants to check out bowie, here’s a playlist of some of my favs ❤️ open.spotify.com/playlist/1dMMx…
@kelseyvanhalen the way he used the midwest as an example not to play prince who was from the Midwest the way he used 17 yo as a way to say black artists wouldn't appeal to thm & bowie had to remind him there are black 17 yo too. it was bc mtv was paid tv. who was the journalist cuz he a bigot
@kelseyvanhalen "I can tell you what those artists would mean to a Black teenager. Certainly they are a part of America too." WHEW.
