      <![CDATA[Mark if you read what I wrote earlier carefully, there no sentence whereby I denied Fela died of anything other than AIDS, what I stated was that Fela died of AIDS due to injections they gave him while he was locked up by the military and not through sex. This is a fact that was derived from people I spoke with that were close to him and not what the media was forced by the military at the time to print out.

      <![CDATA[Mark Kemp, i think you are completely too irresponsibly harsh on the Fela ! This show is good as it is. It is a celebration of most of Fela's positive views and if anyone wants to know him better by the other facts that you are so dying to see depicted in the show, then let them go do their own researchings. And that includes you Mark.<br>
<br>
I am so glad Rikki Stein clarified issues with you on the actual life of Fela, as I hope that other white pudits will undertake due diligent researches to unearth the actual Fela.

      <![CDATA[Thank you for reading and responding, Micky and Danielle.<br>
<br>
And Rikki, a BIG "thanks" to you for your learned and heartfelt comments. I am deeply grateful for the context and nuanced clarifications you've contributed to the dialogue.<br>
<br>
I think you are right about me going a bit too far by including the adjective "raging," and you're also correct that I used the more generally accepted definition of "misogynist" instead of the accurate definition; as a wordsmith, I should be more careful with my word choices.
