[FA Worldmusic] 17 Hippies controversy

[Dmitri Vietze]

OK, so I have now been slapped on the wrist twice for calling Apache a "hip 
hop classic." See below. Another "elder" (ha, haaaa! no harm meant) of our 
community took the time from their busy schedule to call me and tell me the 
song had earlier origins in some old cowboy flick or something. (Though that 
person got credit for catching the Afrika Bambata reference, in spite of me 
being wrong, wrong wrong.) So in addition to booking 17 Hippies this 
September, you could schedule a debate and discussion on the multiple 
histories of the song "Apache."

("Kimosobi, jump on it!, jump on it, jump on it!)

Much respect,

===> Dmitri!
