This may be the music-journalism gaffe of the year:
Bathroom stall police be warned: Grandmaster Flash’s “White Lines,” while billed as an anti-cocaine rap track, has actually endured over the years as a pro-snoot anthem of sorts for those who like to ride the white horse well into the night. Anyhoo, the seminal rapper’s upcoming appearance at Last Supper Club is rivaled in weirdness only by Too Short’s recent gig at Chop Suey, so don’t miss this. Last Supper Club, 10 p.m.
I'm more appalled by the fact they used the word "anyhoo."
Hey, I thought that was a Duran Duran song?
Somebody should tell the Seattle Weekly about this newfangled "Wikipedia" thing. Check it out:
Grandmaster Flash (born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1958 in Barbados) is a hip hop musician and DJ...In 1983, Flash and Mel released a 12" single, "White Lines," which went on to become one of their signature songs. Although credited on the records, Flash doesn't actually appear on "The Message", "White Lines", or many of the other Furious Five songs (if you don't hear scratching on a track, then Flash isn't on it).
