The disturbing screeches of simple simians-- nothing but sex on their minds.

This is some of the most important music made. Were it not for these "disturbing screeches" there would have never been an Elvis a Beatles a Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith or Rolling Stones or on and on and on.

It ALL traces back to this.

You dumbass racist punk.

I mean really. Simians? Referring to them as simians?

The thing I think often think about when listening to this is how there is no corollary effort to create joy out of suffering in the white community. Black people were imprisoned, often on bogus charges, they were sentenced, often to hard labor which was de facto slavery, and this is what they made of it.

If it were white people, they'd bitch, whine, moan, complain, and kill each other, but there'd be little music to come of it, and certainly nothing with the capacity for sheer willed joy, pain, and humanity that this music conveys.
