    I've been listening to him (& Artie) since the 1970s. Graceland is a masterpiece, can't be hyped enough – another tiny (consequential?) musical crack in the wall of apartheid back in the day while we were demonstrating here and abroad for complete divestment from SA and release of Madiba from the Robben Island gulag. :strong:

    update:

    Yesterday it was my birthday
    I hung one more year on the line
    I should be depressed
    My life's a mess
    But I'm having a good time

    Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster
    Maybe my race has been run
    Maybe I'm blind
    To the fate of mankind
    But what can be done?
    — Have A Good Time (1975)
