into the mystic...

a brief vacation from all the rape and go into the nice light topic of race wars.



"Hey Chuck its your cousin Marvin. Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you've been looking for well listen to this."


And just like that whitey pulled the rug out from under the blacks for a billionth time.

Basically if you remember the plot Marty is stuffed into a trunk by Biff's gang of cronies. Who I always thought deserved a name. Anyways he's almost immediately freed by the band playing the enchantment under the sea dance(only after being called "spooks") and in doing so the guitarist hurts his hand and can't play. Marty fills in on guitar plays a cover of the penguins earth angel and then plays his own song. Now in his own song he covers Chuck Berry's Johnny Be Good and that would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't for the guitarist then picking up the phone backstage and calling his cousin, who we are to believe to be Chuck "shit on a glass table while i jerk off" Berry himself. And it is Marvin who shows Chuck the inspiration for what Chuck would create in the form of Rock n Roll. I mean the writing even implied that Berry stole the song outright too. Not even the sound, they're not implying a standard zeppelining they're going for the full blown carbon copy ripoff.



For years the knock against Elvis was oh he just stole rock n roll from the blacks but the writers of BTTF take that all back with one quick sucker punch. In what would be the inaugural time traveling movie and basically the prototype for thousand of stupid string theory arguments about time tributaries and all sorts of horseshit I will touch on way too many times. But in other go into the past movies the travelers alter the future greatly and there's all sorts of consequences. Marty to have altered the future in two ways. Firstly when he arrived in the future he knocked over a tree so the name of the future mall would be "Lone Pine Mall" instead of "Twin Pines Mall" and secondly he gave rock n roll to the black man.



Now in what I've learned of the space time continuum you can't go back in time and effect your own present but you'd be effecting a different dimension. And when Marty set the course for his parents meeting off course all he did was touch off a series of events in an irrelevant dimension that Marty would never be a part of unless he stayed there. So I understand this but you have to go by this movie's rules for reality and the effects there in.

A point of pride for blacks has always been that Elvis stole his songs from the black man and he had undeserved fame and fortune that was made from other people's sweat. And they'd be 100% right. So to take this from them is just kind of disgusting. The unmitigated gall of the writers of BTTF to use the benefit of altered reality and the space time continuum to bring about a chick/egg scenario with rock n roll. Did McFly give rock n roll to Chuck Berry or did Chuck give it to America and thus to McFly. What racist douche bags the writers are of this movie to have McFly's one "Gump like" alteration of pop culture and history alike be a backhand to black musicians and pretty much black culture.

Now I love LOVE Michael J Fox. So I'd like to point this out to people that before this critique. The idea, that some pukey highschooler who plays bad bendy metal solos with his shitty high school band would create the spark. The spark that gave birth to an American phenomenon and what could be our best gift to the world outside of medicinal works, automobiles and Katy Perry's tits in rock n roll: is just offensive. To spit in Chuck Berry, Little Richard and i'll even take it into blues and name guys that would hate my guts for naming them in a shitty blog review of a Disney movie but fuck it i wanna show my music dick LEADBELLY AND ROBERT JOHNSON's collective face is nothing but sheer Disney bigotry.
