Dave Navarro Champions Black People, Black Coffee

Not sure how we missed this, but a few weeks ago, Dave Navarro–half-man, half-goat, all-blogger–updated his website with more exciting reader back-and-forth Q&As that are not at all fruitless and boring. So whatchoo thinkin’, Lincoln?

Q: When Jane’s recorded “Don’t Call Me Nigger”, how’d you pull it off without Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson getting all up in your hizzy?

A: Well, that was a Sly & the Family Stone cover song and our version featured Ice-T singing the words, “Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey!” It was a statement about racism and was intended to make people think. A commentary on racism, which in itself is not racist.

Q. We’ve all heard your various rants about Starbucks or Coffee Bean on CFR…I wanna know what you drink from there…just plain old brewed coffee or do you get creative?

A: That’s kind of the funny thing I guess. I just order a large black coffee, nothing creative. One would think that if my order is so simple there would be nothing to rant about. After years of placing this order for black coffee, I have finally learned that I have to say, “No room for cream” in order to prevent them from asking me if I want room for cream in my “black” coffee. I won’t even get into the little sippy hole “spill proof” lids that pretty much ALWAYS spill out into the car’s cup holder or onto my skin as I walk out.

Oh, little sippy holes. Who says rock stars don’t talk about real issues anymore?
