Today At BadGalsRadio

Fela was My Hero. Personally each time we talked, it was like spending time with someone who had the universe in his head.  Fela understood things. Things that other people seemed to only wonder, how to begin deconstructing as a theory.

When Fela was running for President of Nigeria ; the government denied him the chance because they knew overwhelmingly he would win, both the popular and elected vote. Fela never cut corners with the power struggle. he came with his lesson in hand.

tomorrow I’ll post a pic of us, and talk about the final time I spent with Fela, a year before he passed away.  it was almost a religious experience. he was in touch with the universe truly.

why are we talking about Fela Today, Well He Was the MLK of Nigeria - He Fought for Justice For His People. The Government Beat Him, Jailed Him and Tried to Kill Him. the same things that they did to Dr. Martin Luther King.
