Great musicians from Mali

Man, I just don't know. I ain't been doing nothing today...well, that's not true. I've done some cleaning, some exercising, some cleaning. I did my weekly Saturday morning wake-and-bake and internet porn jack-off session.

That may be TMI. Sorry. Let's move on.

I've been working on that song I showed you "The Oldest Man on Earth."

What is that?

I don't know. The station is NPR.

Let me look it up.

(farmboy goes to the NPR website.)

Who is it?

(farmboy struggles to pronounce the name.)

Tinariwen. Says here that they are blues masters from Mali. This is pretty wonderful stuff. I'm gonna have to check this out further.

No kidding. Tiniriwen?

Tiniriwen.

From Mali?

From Mali. There are so many great musicians from Mali, man. Seems like I'm always hearing about musicians from Mali.

So I was gonna tell you...shit, I fuckin' forgot. I'm sure it had to do with work and all that shit. I got distracted...

Where great musicians come from. Great distraction.

Fuckin' A, man.
