@beeroosterm This "tribal nonsense" is recognized by friend and foe as a splendid, innovative and influential artist, multi-instrumentalist, lyricist in multiple languages... He's even the only musician from all non-western countries on Rolling Stone's heavily biased list of "the 100 greatest guitarists of all time". And you know what, he never claimed any of these characterizations or cared about fame and fortune. And you, what have you accomplished as a musician or even in your whole life?

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm No devotion necessary here, only plain facts anybody can verify. Drop the random bollocks and surprise me and yourself ONCE with a relevant adult argument or a simple fact!

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Daydreamer, to which reality did I give in to?! 1. You're to my knowledge the only creature who ever accused AFT of racism and you've only and generously proven you are THE spine- and brainless racist. Come back whith your twins, if you ever can convince any of the 7 billion earth dwellers of your fallacy. 2. The only halo we behold around here is the totally obscure one you blocked your head with... for your exclusive self-glorification and jeering taunts by everybody else!

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Bottom Line: I love the blues regardless of its origins and your opinions on who- or whatever aren't worth a whoop to me. However, I abhor (provocative) racists / bigots / misogynists etc. (who call anti-racists like AFT names --a simplistic and popular strategy), I don't like idiots who think they're a genius and you(r comments) epitomize both. "Go away, Cuntmar"! You brought me back here and you can count on my ghost, retarded dastardly diva.

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm 1. Many (ethno)musicologists and artists support the (West) African roots theory. Even before AFT became known as a guitarist (his umpteenth instrument), scholars advanced and convincingly vouched it. 2. Gatemouth was imo a (grumpy) great artist, but "I can play any kind of music" should of course be taken with a pinch/pond of salt. Apparently, he couldn't! 3. YOU dragged Cooder into this farce and all of a sudden he fell out of your grace! Why am I not surprised!

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Your OWN plain and simple racist words are obviously a mystery to yourself, so you appeal to Mr. Between-the-lines and Mrs. Irony! What a brainiac! Nothing unusual, though, as groping for bolt holes, attributing your repetitively demonstrated deficiencies to everybody without a shred of evidence, an appalling want of sound judgment, demanding the (last) word without ever rising above a toddler's level, provoking-crying-decamping... belong to your overly transparent shortcomings.

@beeroosterm I'm saying the music evolved from the songs of slaves. I think the various forms of traditional West African music use a five note scale, so yes, the blues is different in many ways. I don't know about AFT personally. Everyone is racist to a degree. Are you into Captain Beefheart at all? Just curious.

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm How come everybody, incl. Cooder, is right when you subscribe to their opinions and wrong when you don't? Should be due to your delusion that the whole world is conspiring against your unique genuis and unparelleld geniality! How do you know RC was using superlatives because he was dead? Sure a product of your escape route epiphany that you suddenly can read sentiments though you're clearly deaf, dumb and blind to understand hundreds of your conspicuously racist words on YT!

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm The interview with RC is readily available. If you're referring to another source, enlighten us - Your Highness! "I judged AFT on his playing ability (awful)"! If that was the case, I'd have never heeded your low(ne)liness. Your very 1st reaction to that old comment of mine didn't devote a single letter to music but called AFT "a tribal, islamic racist" and though I ignored you, you cont'd defecating your profundities for months. Be a man and stop lying, crying and absconding.

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Ry Cooder on NPR upon AFT's death: "The world has lost a magnanimous genius!" RC's interview that you dishonestly interpret contains opinions you'll neither understand nor accept. E.g.: "The way he plays... it all looks like Lightnin’ Hopkins on a real good day."

"Only someone with ears of stone could fail to enjoy Ali Farka Touré’s atmospheric, dusty and understated Saharian pulse" -- The Guitarist about Savane. Read also what other experts, incl. Ry Cooder, has said about it

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Even Micky Mouse is witness to the nr. of people, pigs & fish who are constantly fuxxing YT's Village Idiot Ltd. ... hands down, and you're the only degenerate schmuck who's enjoying it. Given your stunning vanity/idiocy, it's furthermore natural you don't grop doomsday will be heralded before anybody, fauna or flora manifests an interest beyond rebuttal in your farts. Truth: You'll hear from me whenever a racist vermin and an eternal loser, like you, insults AFT (or anybody else).

[Cumar2000]

@beeroosterm Looking for crap? Just follow your comments. "My hat is off to to the early bluesmen"! This should be why you regularly take your dunce's cap off to blacks AND whites who politely and skillfully destroy your cut-and-paste or ad hominem garbage by persistently calling them "fucking niggers"! Say hello to The Swine, your boss, whose asshole has more brain cells and perfume than your head and mouth.
