 That guy's a bit scary. A train ready to go off the rails at any time. Sure could play them drums.

 I enjoyed it. I learned a lot about him that I didn't know, but you think after all these years the man would have learned a thing or two about himself but I guess his ego drives his life.

 I watched in Showtime yesterday. I don't know if it is free on the net anywhere but I doubt it. See link for info.

 Great documentary! Like so many of the "greats" in Rock n Roll, clearly, he is a tortured soul...

 

It is on Netflix if you have it. nt, posted on December 11, 2014 at 19:52:47

 Yes, very interesting docu. Several awkward and very uncomfortable moments to be sure. I am glad I watched it as it rekindled my interest in Fela Kuti. Have since gone on a Fela shopping spree and am digging his music very much.

 undoubtably one of the greats- if you like his stuff, have a listen to dudu pukwana too

 

Thanks for the recommendation ..., posted on December 13, 2014 at 15:16:16

 I'll check that one out, thanks.

Picked up two two-fers: "Confusion"/Gentleman"; "Expensive Shit"/"He Miss Road"; and the single CD "Live! with Ginger Baker". Great stuff for sure! Also started reading his Biography, "This Bitch of a Life". It is a wild read thus far.
