Johnny Clegg has been making albums since 1979, so he's pretty old now. See above noted picture for proof. Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World, released in 1989 is a huge part pop with barely enough catchy to roll up into a joint. Like a pinner you would smoke in high school; one worth only a couple hoots that you would quikly blow out your window so mom wouldn't smell it when she came to say goodnight, yah, that kind. The songwriting is majorly political driven, not bad actually, kind of like Wycliff Jean's "If I was President" feel to it, only 1980's steeze. Johnny sounds a little less twangy then Geddy Lee (Rush lead singer), which is nice because it gives you something to vomit to when you're so sick that you just need to puke. But your finger down your throat just isn't quite doing the trick... you know, oh, come on- whatever. Savuka was the inter racial band formed by Johnny in 1986 after his last inter racial group, Jaluka, disbanded- probably because their name sucked. Music that could only be described like 3 parts Dustin Hoffman's super gay pop music, mixed with 2 parts Steven Seagall's ultra gay guitar solo's, and with an added teaspoon of Zulu back-up vocals. yah, I know, weird.
