One of my favorite musicians is Fela Kuti, not least because his songs are always way over 15 minutes long, so if you listen to just one at the gym while doing your workout, chances are good you’re more than halfway done with whatever aerobic activity you happen to be doing.

So yay for “Coffin For Head Of State,” which kept me going for more than 23 minutes. And then I listened to “Lady” (15 minutes) and ended up with Fela’s son Femi’s song “Beng Beng,” which is only 4:45.

(I worked on the urban fantasy synopsis today, it’s two pages, only a page short of what I’ve actually written on the darn thing itself! I am loving it. I wish I could sit down and blast it all out now, but life and SOMEbody’s son’s need to eat interfere).
