Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 "Zombie" (10:01)
A little history behind that last track: “In 1977 Fela and the Afrika ’70 released the hit album Zombie, 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, during which one thousand soldiers attacked the commune. Fela was severely beaten, and his elderly mother was thrown from a window, causing fatal injuries. The Kalakuta Republic was burned, and Fela's studio, instruments, and master tapes were destroyed. Fela claimed that he would have been killed if it were not for the intervention of a commanding officer as he was being beaten. Fela'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.”

See what you get for opposing the government? Your mother thrown from a window, and a couple of hit songs. Oh, let's see: that song was back in the 70's and yet Nigeria is still the same. Imagine that. I guess some people think it's worthwhile to throw stones in a pond to watch the ripples that always, inevitably, fade away.
Well, it's a nice thought to imagine everyone having the personal liberty to express themselves as they see fit. I, for one, prefer civilization, and you don't get both.
