Weekend rec: A double-bill. Rent the #Movie Far From Heaven and the Little Richard #DOC I Am Everything, and watch them back-to-back. Why? Because Far From Heaven depicts the "straight" jacket that Little Richard and #rocknroll helped liberate society from. #PrideMonth #film #Movies #littlerichard

At its essence, Black music is a music of liberation and freedom—even gospel does this (unlike European-derived religious music that rarely made room for vocal improvisation). #littlerichard grew up in the church, and he brought that soulful euphoria to secular music. #theblackchurch #gospel

When #rocknroll figures like #littlerichard hit America in the rigid #1950s depicted in the #film Far From Heaven, it was as if a societal bomb had dropped. By watching the two movies back-to-back, you'll better understand the vital role Black music has played in influencing the course of history.

Little Richard may be the most influential figure in #rocknroll because he distilled its essence: gender-bending #blues & a dynamite mixture of #gospel & the profane. His influence on rockers who followed him (gay, straight, and everything in between) is incalculable. #PrideMonth #littlerichard

In response to Black Music Project.
MAGA is racist. Boycotts against Bud Light & Target for pro LGBTQ & Trans, and now Chick-fil-A for DEI (diversity) are worst kind of entertainment in a world dealing with real problems like Ukraine & Climate Change. People are different. Of course we should all be included.
