A quick note about the Power and Light (or as I like to call it, the Power and WHITE) District in KC.

On Saturday night I read an angry tweet (on Twitter) from a friend who said he was turned away from P&L because he was wearing a green v-neck t-shirt from the GAP. I thought “typical.” If you know anything about the venue and their strict (and as I see it, racist) dress code, then you know what I’m talking about.

Then, I heard about this. DJ Jazzy Jeff was supposed to play a FREE show there, and was kicked off about a half hour into his set because he was playing hip hop. It was all over Twitter (even DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Twitter).

I’m sad to say this doesn’t surprise me. Forget you, P&L. I don’t understand how this venue came about, or why people even support it.

I can get mad and stomp my feet all I want, but there’s not much I personally can do. All I know is that Kansas is great, I love Kansas, and all the acts that come through…..which is why it stung a little when I saw this on Jazzy Jeff’s Twitter feed:

“i guess…Kansas Just don’t Understand…lol”

🙁

Sorry Jazz, I love ya, but please note that what went down occurred on the MISSOURI side. 😉

Shame on you, Power and WHITE district. Shame on you!!
