There's a long sordid history of white musicians aping on black authenticity for karma points, and this seems to fit right in. On moving to New York, I found it hilarious all the euphemisms people use to avoid the word "Harlem"; it's "uptown" or "upper manhattan" or "central park north". Anything but that dreaded word. No no, nothing good could ever come from there. But package it up with a nice clean smile and a heartfelt college essay anecdote, and you'll get your face on the cover of the Village Voice.
