I just saw a David Allen Coe concert and his drummer was a black guy... does this confuse anyone else?

Alright, I am not a country afficicianado, nor am I a D.A.C. afficianado, but I heard the DAC tape that my redneck cousin had, and it used racial epithets liberally, and now I see him in a Austin City Limits show and his drummer is a black dude. I am confused.

Ever see the Sam Fuller film Shock Corridor? Took place in an insane asylum, there was this black patient who was in manner and appearance a member of the KKK.

That's like a Korean grocer catering a party at Ice Cube's pad.

did anybody see the movie The Klansman (i think), starring Lee Marvin?
It turned out in the end (SPOILER ALERT!!!) that it was O.J. Simpson who was dressing up in sheets and killing townsfolk...with a knife!!!

Oooooh. The irony is so thick you'd need a trowel to scrape it off.

Someone just wrote to me:

"I went to a David Allan Coe (yeah I know……) show in Austin, Texas and this is about 1972 or so. Anyway he had a couple of black girls singing backup for him and needless to say they were the only blacks in what was a typical cosmic cowboy type scene of the time."

Maybe the incongruity is put there for a reason. Does David Allen Coe himself belong anywhere?

Or maybe he just liked the way the drummer played or the girls sang and it has nothing to do with art or a message.

Interesting either way.
