[FA Worldmusic] ROFLMAO!

[Jeff Kaliss]

Not at all ridiculous, Rob, and we'd like to hear the rest of that joke. 
Light-heartedness (not mean spiritedness) certainly has a place in world and 
other musics. Think on Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha, or Kermit Ruffins, or 
Caetano Veloso, and there are plenty others. (Including the Brave Combo and 
Thelonious Monk, when you move on to other genres.)
