I'll never understand that sort of thing. With an artist like Fela —who is not really one of the giants of music that listeners are pointed to along with Miles, Hendrix, the Beatles and Johnny Cash, maybe secondary or tertiary to that tier— it's always baffled me how anyone can cop an attitude when a listener picks up on it as new thing.

Like I doubt that dude was buying Fela records on import in 1974.
