Mo' meta blues : the world according to Questlove
Mo' Meta Blues is a punch-drunk memoir in which Questlove tells his own story while tackling some of the lates, the greats, the fakes, the philosophers, the heavyweights, and the true originals of the music world. He digs deep and unearths some pivotal moments in black art, hip hop, and pop culture. More than just a memoir, this is a dialogue about the nature of memory and the idea of a post-modern black man saddled with post-modern blues.

More than 50 years later, Ahmir \"Questlove\" Thompson tells the story of the 1969 event known colloquially as the \"Black Woodstock\" in a new film heading to Sundance entitled Summer of Soul (...Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).
