I meant to include this in my Don Letts post at PJMedia, and just found it again in my notes:
I’m in New York, and I get a call from MTV. They want to interview me about making videos for the Clash. When I get to the studio, everyone looks at me like I’ve shit myself.
After an embarrassing five minutes, a guy sits me down and says, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but we can’t do the interview. We didn’t realize you were black.”
