And if the Nigerian government had its way, the Shrine would disappear forever. Authorities nearly burned down the first Shrine (founded by Fela Kuti, a pioneer of Afrobeat and Femi’s rabble-rousing father) in 1977; they did finally bulldoze it after Fela&#39;s death in 1997. Last month, mere days before Femi Kuti embarked on his US tour, officials closed the Shrine’s second incarnation, citing noise violations and illegally parked cars. The Shrine is back in business — for now — but its future would appear shaky. Lucky for us, Kuti and his Positive Force backing band brought a little taste to Boston last Wednesday. My mother and I arrive at this sold-out Paradise show just in time to grab a sweet spot in the upper balcony, where we scope out the crush of hipsters, Nigerian ex-pats, and old-school Afrobeat heads swelling the club. Mom eyes a middle-aged woman wearing a vintage dashiki: “She must have kept that in her closet a long time.” Then Kuti and his massive 13-piece band (whose line-up includes three barefooted, bead-bedecked dancers) troop out and launch into “Blackman Know Yourself,” a cut off Kuti’s 1998 album Shoki Shoki. With so many people crammed on this stage, there’s not a lot of room for the fly girls to move; instead, they dip and shimmy in place, fluttering their prehensile booties. “Don’t forget your past,” Kuti implores, and his energetic burst of Pan-African sermonizing swathed in raucous party funk sets the standard for the evening. The rest of the set list leans heavy on Kuti&#39;s 2008 record, Day by Day (his first studio album in seven years), which is more of a throwback to the “funky Lagos” style of the ’70s than any of his previous outings. “They Will Run” sounds especially time-warped. It kicks off with Kuti wailing out a mournful, jazzy horn solo — despite the throng already on stage, Kuti still does quadruple duty on trumpet, sax, clarinet, and Hammond XK-2. The grand finale is “Beng Beng Beng.” Banned in his own country for its brazenly erotic lyrics, it’s Kuti&#39;s biggest hit, and the crowd goes apeshit. He begins: “Two things make us very happy in life: sex and music, and the two kind of go hand in hand. It takes a lot of practice to become dexterous.” Suddenly, he’s gleefully divulging graphic, Tantra-like secrets before sliding into the song. “Don’t come too fast,” he sings, then points at some guy’s video camera, declaring, “He comes too fast!” Kuti and the Positive Force band certainly don’t need to prove their stamina: they&#39;ve laid down a ferocious 16-song set, and they return for three encore numbers. After ripping through the blazing-fast stomper “One Two,” Kuti announces: “The people of the Shrine, the people of Lagos, are way ahead of you.” To get us up to speed, he tells us, they&#39;re going to do some new material “so you can say, &#39;I heard it in Boston. Oh yes!&#39; ” What follows is another frenetic groove, complete with a guitar solo that inspires Kuti to start throwing air punches and high kicks. We end the night sweat-soaked and exhausted. Boston may have to wait another seven years for a Femi Kuti album, but we&#39;ll have this piece of the Shrine to tide us over until then.

With such headlines as “A Shattered Nation Longs To Care About Stupid Bullshit Again” and “Privileged Children of Millionaires Square Off On World Stage,” they got folks laughing again. And then Saturday Night Live did some corny bullshit - with that great New Yorker Reese Witherspoon hosting - and NBC went down as the enterprise that not only pulled New York out of the rubble, but that lifted the joke moratorium. Kind of like Jay-Z, whose “Death of Auto-Tune (D.O.A.)” is being touted as the axe that amputated the lamest of all lame rap trends - even though enlightened MCs and music critics have been lambasting pathetic contemporary synth crutches for years. While skeptics were lamenting the corn pop direction that he steered Def Jam into, Hova was grubbing surf-and-turf and promoting such trash as Ne-Yo and Rihanna. And now he gets to take credit for beheading the monster he helped spawn? Please. It’s like Bono taking credit for Obama&#39;s diplomacy. Nonetheless, his words will be the ones that stick; Jay-Z is the most exalted cat in hip-hop, which affords him the right to pull the winning chess move and declare victory - even if he was playing for your opponent the entire time. Still - and I think I speak on behalf of anyone who believes that Jay’s overall contribution to hip-hop has been as disappointing and superficial as its been triumphant - this song (and its accompanying video) is just another empty gesture on par with tapping the Roots to back his MTV Unplugged set. &nbsp; Like so many moves in Jay’s career, “Death Of Auto-Tune” is a demonstration in deep irony. He shouts out Lil Wayne, but criticizes rappers who jock T-Pain. In a Hot 97 interview, he even said that it’s acceptable when Kanye West uses Auto-Tune. Call the folks at Urban Dictionary. It seems we have a new definition for “half-stepping.” That said; Hova’s choice of No ID to cook this beat is a sure sign that the man can make a decent choice from time to time. As far as the video is concerned, though, it would have been nice if Jay also sentenced slow-motion cigar-smoking pan-shots to the guillotine.

We&#39;re not huge NKOTB fans, but given the town, the audience, and the enormous debt those guys owe to the man, the boys kept it classy.&nbsp; Not so for our ever-faithfully clueless local tabloid, which delivers a worst-of-both-worlds headline: they went with a pun that sounded vaguely racist without actually meaning anything. Even the world&#39;s scummiest tabloid, the Post, didn&#39;t go cheesy. We&#39;re not sensitive enough to give the Herald shit for a dumb headline, but we&#39;re amused enough at their incompetence to post Marky Wahlberg&#39;s recent Twitters, which sidebar from talking about the MJ tribute long enough to whack the hometown yahoos. So there. DonnieWahlberg This is as close as we came to sharing the stage with The King- Thank You for inspiring me Michael Jackson. Thank you for your gift to us. 26 Jun 2009 from TwitterBerry DonnieWahlberg To all MJ fans- please forgive the tackiness of a certain Boston media publication for their distasteful and, frankly, ignorant headline. 26 Jun 2009 from TwitterBerry DonnieWahlberg Motown made the moment so magical last night.
