Food For Thought

Every soul with a penchant for rebellion should be aware of the crusader that is Fela Anikulapo Kuti. I was under the false impression that I was learned when it came to all things "Fela", mainly because I am familiar with most of the ballads he penned for a generation of mutinous Nigerians between the Seventies and Ninety's, but I was wrong. 
Speaking of wrong you might be wondering why one speaks of him in the present tense? 
"They" are all wrong, because he is still alive, not only through his music but most significant of all through the beliefs that he stood and struggled for. Death is only a state of mind, so feed your brain while you can with an insightful two part documentary of Fela's unrelenting revolutionary swagger.
