I think that 2nd one should read "First admitidly (sp?) gay nba player."
"During this line, the kid acted like he was pushing buttons on a calculator in the air. The kid played ******* air-calculator!"

Eubanks rocks!!!

Jimi Hendrix is probably my favorite afro guitar player though. Kind of cliche to say that but it's true.

Although a big Jimi Hendrix fan, I have to say of all of the current African American guitar players out there, I would say that Prince gets my vote. Say what you will but the man can rock! :)

Macalpine can rip up the fret board...

But my vote goes to James Marshall Hendrix.

+10000! Prince is great. But my favourite black guitarist is probably Buddy Guy.

My favourite black overall musician, however, is Miles Davis. Easily one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century, IMO.
