Today...

...I woke up with a splitting headache, that funny enough affected me only on the right side half of my brain and with remnant memories of a dream that seemed like a puzzle I couldn't solve.




...is the annivesary of Fela's death and we never mourn this legend, today rather brings a celebration of his life, music and legacy. We all miss him. I do. I now many of our public officials a la Kalu, Nnamani, Turaki, Obasanjo, et al and not forgetting our errant men in black wouldn't have escaped the wrath of his tongue were he alive. Fela not only made good music, he spoke for the people in a manner that not even today's so called concious artist can dare replicate. Not even daring the daring 'Jaga Jaga' crooner.

...ten years after, Fela lives on.
