Revision

edit

I think this article is poorly written, and needs to be revised to meet a higher standard of quality. Not only is it not chronologically sound, but it also deviates from a "neutral" position by overly praising Femi, beginning to sound more like propaganda. - 66.183.190.88

Sorry to blank most of it, but it was a copyvio from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association website [1]. Does look a useful reference though. Tearlach 18:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Yes all you say is so very true. Question is how and whom is going to do what is needed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.59.73 (talkcontribs) 21:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Religion

edit

Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career, but he differs from his father in his religious views.

I'm not sure what this sentence wants to tell us. I have read a recent review of his new album that suggests that he has become more christians. As I had the chance to talk to him about this, he explictly said he is *opposing* Christianity as it makes people for Jesus to come back and makes them follow a leader, and needs a mediator to get in contact with god. He said he is a spiritual person who doesn't need all that to get in contact with god, but has a direct access, so toi say. Isn't that basically also what Fela thought? --92.117.185.201 (talk) 13:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

These sources do not ever belong in External links. I have moved the link farm there to this talk page where they do belong. Warning: I didn't check them over, so be careful in choosing any references here. Thank you. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 08:26, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
