I can see what they mean about 'black in spirit', but can you imagine the furore if a band had advertised for members saying 'you can be any colour as long as you're white in spirit'.

Of course, any sensible person would understand 'black in spirit' and 'white in spirit' in the same way - having an empathy for the cultural influences that produce a particular musical sound.

However I'm expecting the mad apologists of the race relations industry to fall upon this thread shortly and deny it.
