Interesting question. Sun ra talked about space,afrocentricity and electronic instruments since the 1930s in chicago. He was thought to be insane then. In his lifetime all of those things were common knowledge. ra was clearly a prophet.

if the president from the year 2008 went back to 74 this is how he would be confronted by the youth. and his message would be the same.

Sun Ra has gone off to his intergalactic abode beyond the black and white dichotomies that divide and disintegate the planet Earth. His music still sustains this Earth. It is profound spiritual therapy. Without his music, the disintegration of the Earth would be completed and we would only be vapor floating in the nebulae. Sun Ra forever!
