Is Hollywood as bad with race as the rest of the country? I know that when you started scoring films, you’d hear producers say things like they didn’t want a “bluesy” score, which was clearly code-speak. Are you still encountering that kind of racism?

It’s still f**ked up. 1964, when I was in Vegas, there were places I wasn’t supposed to go because I was black, but Frank [Sinatra] fixed that for me. It takes individual efforts like that to change things. It takes white people to say to other white people, “Do you really want to live as a racist? Is that really what you believe?” But every place is different. When I go to Dublin, Bono makes me stay at his castle because Ireland is so racist. Bono’s my brother, man. He named his son after me.

Is the f**king a verb or adjective in this instance?

At one point in the mid 1970,s he booked a Reggae band to play, ( Aswad ,I think?) instead of one of the usual Showbands .
They went down a storm ,and he made them stay for the week and play every night to a rapturous reception.
People came from far and wide to see them ,and I quote," Jaysus,They had never seen a Black Feller in their Lives! " ( My Father in Law).
People were queuing up to buy them pints of Guinness and talk to them and would not let them put their hands in their pockets.
