Thanks, dawg. It was my 2nd choice. The 1st choice sounded so lame in early rehearsal I dropped it and won't even name it. I lacked the soul for that song, but embodied the inherent sense of mediocrity required for "Final Solution" to resonate.

I saw Faruq Z. Bey perform in 2009, a year or two before he passed away. Even sitting down and with oxygen tubes in his nose, he played his butt off. Said it before, but I am surprised that someone hasn't seen fit to reissue Griot Galaxy records, as they seem pretty hard to come by.
