Uit dezelfde tijd 83 als mevrouw lauper, mijn zus geboren in de zomer 1969 heeft logischerwijs iets met het nummer summer of 69 Daarnaast is dit denk ik nog wel haar soort muziek, na de uitstapjes in de hard rock kwam ze snel wel weer terug in de recht toe recht aan rock met een iets korrelige stem (liefst nog van zangeres denk mellisa etheridge) maar ook bryan past daar prima bij. Dit zou ze nu denk ik nog meezingen

Bryan Adams - Too Hot To Handle (Audio)

Blijkt dat ik ook meer dan de helft kan meezingen denk dat ze hem vroeger vaak gedraaid heeft

quote:

The album was a scathing attack on Nigerian soldiers using the zombie metaphor to describe the methods of the Nigerian military. The album was a smash hit with the people and infuriated the government, setting off a vicious attack against the Kalakuta Republic (a commune that Fela had established in Nigeria), during which one thousand soldiers attacked the commune. Kuti was severely beaten, and his elderly mother was thrown from a window, causing fatal injuries. The Kalakuta Republic was burned, and Kuti's studio, instruments, and master tapes were destroyed. Kuti claimed that he would have been killed if it were not for the intervention of a commanding officer as he was being beaten. Kuti's response to the attack was to deliver his mother's coffin to the main army barrack in Lagos and write two songs, "Coffin for Head of State" and "Unknown Soldier", referencing the official inquiry that claimed the commune had been destroyed by an unknown soldier.

Kuti and his band then took residence in Crossroads Hotel as the Shrine had been destroyed along with his commune. In 1978 Kuti married 27 women, many of whom were his dancers, composers, and singers to mark the anniversary of the attack on the Kalakuta Republic. Later, he was to adopt a rotation system of keeping only twelve simultaneous wives.[6] The year was also marked by two notorious concerts, the first in Accra in which riots broke out during the song "Zombie," which led to Kuti being banned from entering Ghana. The second was at the Berlin Jazz Festival after which most of Kuti's musicians deserted him, due to rumors that Kuti was planning to use the entirety of the proceeds to fund his presidential campaign.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own shit
