EP224: Living Colour "Vivid"

<div class="">Living Colour were (are?) a capital “R” rock band without the benefit (or hinderance) of any of the sub-genre designations assigned to many of their peers.  Songs like “Desperate People” and the massive hit “Cult of Personality” had driving, high-energy verses and soaring, singable chorus’ that were primed for drive time radio.  What separated them from those peers were their insane, Berklee level chops and the fact that they were four African Americans who wrote songs about real life challenges including racial stereotypes, the damages of gentrification and the crack epidemic. Their debut album was groundbreaking upon its release in 1988 but how does it hold up today?    </div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""> <div class="">RIP Bob Nalbandian</div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class=""><u class= "">Recommended Listening</u>:</strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class= ""> </strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class="">EP154:  Fishone “Truth and Soul”</strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class= "">https://huntsmanhill.com/2021/05/16/ep154-fishbone-truth-soul/</strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class= ""> </strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class="">“Memories Can’t Wait”</strong></span></div> <div class=""><span class=""><strong class= "">https://open.spotify.com/track/6ZkdsPHBRDlzK5VjWDgByG?si=73c881d1c5b049f5</strong></span></div> <div class=""> </div> </div> <div class="">Contact us at:  <a class="" href= "mailto:huntsmanhillpodcast@gmail.com">huntsmanhillpodcast@gmail.com</a></div> <div class="">Spotify Playlist:  <a class="" href= "https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg">https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg</a></div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""><u class=""><span class=""><strong class="">HHPP Amazon Affiliat
