Thanks and well, it's kind of smooth sailing from here because the Tinariwen live concert set will run for another hour and 45 minutes! What kind of advice exactly - musical advice - ?

Well, asking for advice by me... be careful what you wish for... but, if you, like me, are intrigued by the concept of a tuna pizza crepe, I suggest you head for my favorite place in NJ, the Mitsuwa Japanese mall in Edgewater. They have a Japanese style sweet and savory crepe stand set up for the next few days there - with some very specifically Japanese concoctions! That's my dining suggestion for the day...

I had a wild adventure crossing the Sahara Desert many years ago traveling with Touareg caravan. it was a difficult trip, sand storms, break downs and sand pits on the piste, touareg rebels with ak47, slaughtering a goat, finally making it across Algeria to Bamako. The sound of the music we encountered along the way is forever embedded in my heart- it takes me right back there to that amazing land.

In the Tinariwen photograph, the dude 5th from left looks like Zappa/Lynott..?

Sat. 6/12/10 8:17pm Mebob:

..Is that fair? Or do I need glasses..?

Sat. 6/12/10 8:20pm Your DJ:

That's the leader of Tinariwen, Ibrahim Ag Alhabib. And, well, if there is a Tuareg Zappa, he's the guy! We were very happy because he played this gig; he's skipped some of their US tours.
