This site is beginning to make a shift from music appreciation to music history. I found it creepy how Casualties of War could have been a contemporary song, complete with the name of the president. Mtume and Baba,

To Kalamu and Mtume, THANKS for this post and the others from this week. This is one to write home about. The level of history mentioned here and how it relates to modern music is unmatched! Keep up with the good work. P.S., Never knew a church song could sound so FUNKY! But then again, folks don't realize that most of OUR music got started in the CHURCH!
