People. ?uestlove and Airport Security
People. ?uestlove and Airport Security: He's a traveling man. ?uesto is always on the move. Whether he's touring with the Roots or deejaying an event, it's hard to keep up with him. This time, however, he was slowed down temporarily in Buffalo. Pitchfork has the news.
As reported: "Exhibit Q in the case of very misguided cops v. innocent black Americans: Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, drummer and mastermind behind the Roots. During a recent trip though the Buffalo airport, Thompson was detained, degraded, hassled, and humiliated by airport security, police, and Drug Enforcement Administration officers because of a large amount of cash he had on his person and his choice of wardrobe, according to Thompson's MySpace blog post from Monday."
