Just My Soul - Smokey Robinson

Smokey highlights the plight of the Native American people and just about gets away with it.

In March I was nearly the last white man to die at the hands of the Apache:

I was doing 110 on the M5 between Taunton and Exeter. 'Chants of the Native American Tribes' was on the CD player. The trippy incantations of the elders along with the lullaby rattle of the tin of mixed fruit travel sweets on the dashboard sent me into a ecstatic state of semi-consciousness...

I woke quickly, regained control of the car and sent up thanks to my ancestors for the miracle of Dynamic Stabilty Control (DSC).

Indian Giver - 1910 Fruitgum Company

The Super K production team tone down the Juicy Fruit organ, amp up the Big Red tom-toms and do the wigwam bang-shang-a-lang.

It's a great tune, but the biggest pop-cultural ethnic insult this side of the fake Asian sidekick in Short Circuits I & II.

I'm into Native American culture in a big way: I have a black T-shirt with an airbrushed wolf in a head-dress on it.

Hey, John Wayne. Hey, White Corporate America. Smoke that in your peace pipe, Pale Face. I'm on the warpath!

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.
