Live 8

In his commentary on Live Aid, Mr. Abdul-Raheem rhetorically asked why Fela Kuti, among others, was not invited to perform at one of the upcoming benefit concerts. The primary reason is that Mr. Kuti has been dead for eight years. If he wishes to embark on a critique of Live Aid (much of which I agree with), he should at least get his facts straight.
TAJUDEEN ABDUL-RAHEEM RESPONDS:In Yoruba Femi will be known as Femi Fela kuti. So calling him Fela Kuti is not off the mark!
