Coming soon from your "president" it's MTVs presidential panel on race in rock. (Bill Clinton: Rock 'n' roll music. Stolen from blacks, rendered irrelevant by whites, rendered irrelevant by whites, referred to by Americans. It's a crucible of racial lconfortation, a cauldron of cultural welfare. Now's our chance to let our true feelings about this popular music- and each other- out into the open, let the healing begin!) Controversial Panelists (Lani Guinier: More germane to the question of racial redistricting, what about Little Richard?) (Ice-T: I've found that surliness is often its own reward) (Wendy O. Williams: If I were black, I wouldn't be dead today.) Honest Analysis: (Michael Jackson: It took 200 hours under the knife, but now I finally have the looks to match my bank account!) Tough Issues: (Vanilla Ice: I'm every bit as soulful as Eddie Cochran and Johnnie Cochran combined!) Dumb questions from the Audience (I just want to say that this really helps- I'm gonna hire a black nanny.)
