		Davis' time in jail and her trial made her a national figure, and she went on to continue to advocate for various progressive causes.
		The title of Davis' talk was "Arts, Education, and Activism: Beyond Rhetoric to Action" and in it she offered her thoughts on the function of art, the importance of education and the misrepresentation of the civil rights activists of the 1960s.
		Davis cited Ray Charles, a musician who refused to adhere to the conventions of a single genre and was willing to experiment with mixing radically different genres, as one of the sources of inspiration for the civil rights movement.

		Ray Charles became blind at age 9, two years after witnessing the drowning death of his little brother.
		Ray Charles was deeply involved in the project for years, until his death in June, and the film had access to his recordings, so of course it should use them, because nobody else could sing like Ray Charles.
		When we leave him, Ray is safely on course for his glory years, although there is a brief scene set in 1979 where he receives an official apology from his home state of Georgia over the concert incident, and "Georgia on My Mind" is named as the state song.

		Davis got a call-back that Sunday and returned for round two, where 30 contestants discovered a twist: they were given two and a half minutes to play an original song.
		Davis said he was turned on to music performance at a young age when he watched the movie "Crossroads," a blues music film starring Ralph Macchio.
		Davis started singing was he was 25, moving on to Southern rock - a natural progression, considering Davis is a descendant of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy.

		Following decades would see American musicians of the likes of Louis Armstrong, Benny Carter, and Miles Davis cross the ocean to jam late into the nights in a city refreshingly free of racism, and the music would evolve into astonishing new forms.

		McTell played blues songs not because they were blues but because they were popular, and he handled them superbly not because he was a blues musician but because he was a pop musician.
		In fact, when I first heard him twenty-some years ago, his eclecticism and detached engagement reminded me more of the Kinks than of any of the bit of blues I knew.
		McTell is the ideal musician for the dreamy grimy rubbery urbanity of archy and mehitabel, for E. Segar's Thimble Theater (or for the early Fleischers' Popeye -- they never found a scorer as perfect as Cab Calloway was for Betty Boop), for the silent comedies of miracle-working white-faced saints with dirt-flened hands....

	Reading & Writing: Sharp Sand: Willie McTell, Redux

		Though coming round here & saying you’re not a Dylan fan is a little like going to Texas & saying you don’t like barbecue or to Saigon & saying you don’t like pho, I’ll let that pass, since what Ray has to say about McTell represents much of the new thinking about the blues.
		I’d just say that those of us in search of existential authenticity need to be prepared to discover it in popular culture as well as folk culture.
