Amidst current day's severe racial tensions,there lies an obvious yet sadly overlooked partial remedy for these tragic times of human existence---the magical powers of sharing music cross-culturally.Cases in point from our own chosen fan field of classic rock include the Doobie Brothers,Rare Earth,Sly and the Family Stone,Arthur Lee and LOVE and the transcendent musings of Santana,all glorious examples of racially mixed combos that provide dutiful evidence of the possibilities of inter-cultural unity.Wonderful recordings full of how various races ethnicities are actually able to come together with shining hope of peoples from around the world sharing music as well as the planet and our individual short existences on it.Just watch the clip of Santana performing "Soul Sacrifice" at the original Woodstock fest in '69..More stuffy,pig headed politicians should study this one and absorb the great message of benevolence towards others we all should learn to practice.......................
