I got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland

Living Colour was an underappreciated group back in the day. Their riffs were unique, their stylings were edgy and occasionally abrasive and their lyrics didn't jive with the needs of suburban boys seeking identity fulfillment. And, okay, Vernon Reid did most of his best work with Bill Frisell, DJ Logic and Graham Haynes rather than his home group. But these guys were musicians, professional players who knew exactly what they were doing and it’s a shame they haven't gotten their due over the years.
