Which is of course why I adore him
I agree that, globally even, blacks, people of African descent, are under-respresented in the world of rock. Rock being the key work. I did not find Ty to be a true ROCK singer and I consider INXS on the POP fringe anyway. If Ty's claim is a lack of support from the typical rock fan base, then he can't blame his color, because good performers of all races have been accepted in Rock, when they have chosen to enter that arena (Lenny Kravitz for one). If his bitch was that he wished ROCK had a larger black fan base, I see his point. But I think it is inaccurate to say that the lack of a black rock fan base is due to ROCK's unacceptance of black performers. It was a cop out to me.
