Phiri's opening solo on "I know what I know" live from the Africa Concert in Zimbabwe back in 1968. There was a boycott agains South Africa because of its Apartheid Policies, which kept many international artists from traveling to perform there. Many did what Paul Simon did by playing next door in the former Republic of Rhodesia, which itself split in two during the twilight of Apartheid.

The split created Zambia, and Zimbawe.

George A. Romero, father of the zombie film, is dead at 77

NEW YORK (AP) George Romero, whose classic "Night of the Living Dead" and other horror films turned zombie movies into social commentaries and who saw his flesh-devouring undead spawn countless imitators, remakes and homages, has died. He was 77.

Romero died Sunday following a battle with lung cancer, said his family in a statement provided by his manager Chris Roe. Romero's family said he died while listening to the score of "The Quiet Man," one of his favorite films, with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher, and daughter, Tina Romero, by this side.

Peter was actually Peter Aurness, his brother, James, dropped the u for some reason.

The original cast of Mission:Impossible included Martin Landau and his real wife, Barbara Bain.
