Hey Carlisle,

Just thought I'd mention that the drums in the background of 4 Little Girls that Bitney mentioned were from the Max Roach album "We Insist: Freedom Now!", which came out in 1960, and the cover has a picture of all the musicians doing a sit in. So it wasn't just Spike Lee being crazy, there was a lot of Civil Rights Movement influenced jazz music.

Thanks for the information Connor. I didn't mean to sound derisive when I said, "Spike Lee". Mr. Lee has a unique approach to filmmaking.
