The Nigerian sound that revolutionized African music in the 1970sâand the music of other continents for decades to comeâwas called Afrobeat. Most of the credit was given to Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the singer, songwriter and showman who inspired millions with his rabble-rousing politics, macho swagger and musical charisma.

She's wasn't an effin whistleblower. That term is for someone who reports illegal activity. She set-up Lewinsky to get Bill Clinton boxed in to either admit to getting a blow job or to lie (or obfuscate) in a totally separate civil case that was equally funded to discredit the president.
