Strange/funny - i had just just thought a lot about Fela, having NOT thought of him in ages - but reading up on the new Eno at some website - several quotes from mr Eno - lauded Fela - and he said how he had TONS of his albums. - This caused me to think how lame i was for only having 1 or 2 ??@!!!!! But, having heard quite a few of 'em... then i actually wondered where he was, what doing, etc. Very strange. And sad. anyone unfamiliar with this man - check it out... another GENIUS , yes, the comparisons to Miles, Sun Ra, etc are right on.... Talking heads from Remain in light to the next 3-4 albums would not exist without him and his hybrid.... there's a great album he did in like 1970 with ginger baker also... whew. another one gone. our counter culture is dying. we must preserve it. andre' > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++100% positive !!
