I know that song(street life) too, Maestro, and I love it as well. I remember Debbie posting the "street life" song a couple times here.

Didn't know her songs reputation are generally lower than their actual worth. Not fair, she's a great singer.

OUCH, but I get it...

An electronic music festival in London has cancelled a set by an Israeli DJ, citing a blog post by a pro-Palestinian group that criticized the artist for serving as a "lynchpin" of Israeli nightlife.
In a Substack post, Ravers for Palestine urged the Origins Music Festival to cancel DJ Roi Perez's set, accusing him of "making apartheid look like a party" despite his record for advocating for Israeli-Palestinian peace and LGBTQ+ rights.
"This is a DJ who encodes, via his plucky province-to-metropole settler backstory and appropriation of Black house music, the colonial narrative of a benevolent, queer-friendly liberal Zionism", the blog post read....

Again, I get this, but the language here turns tricky, especially the "appropriation" insertion in this context. I am one of those who get very anxious over the implication of music 'appropriation'. But anyway....
