Cello playing folkie Ben Sollee has penned an open letter/song to Kanye West about his recent outbursts. We would be tempted to think Sollee was angling to use West as a launchpad to media attention if it weren't for the fact that recently Sollee has been gaining a bunch of press based purely on his songs. Also, isn't the genesis of folk music all about carrying out musical discourse, which is why so much of it is rooted in the ethos of protest? Well this little tune ain't exactly a protest song as much as a good natured jab from one artist to the other.
