Tomorrow is the 77th death anniversary of one of the greatest scientists that many people do not know about. Attempts to cover up, destroy, ignore or belittle the achievements of Nikola Tesla largely succeeded, although in recent years, more and more people have become aware of the great contribution that this genius made.
The global rock 'n' roll community has done its part to shed light on the genius of this man who we should spare a thought for when we switch on the lights:
Tesla
Brought the X-ray photo to the world
Brought the AC power to the world
From They Might Be Giants, to Math Rock band Jardin de la Croix to the band that was renamed Tesla, rock bands have not shied away from paying tribute to Nikola Tesla.
He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic,
"New Wizard of the West."
But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind,
And said Edison knew best.
In 2017, on his 161st birthday, ROFFEKE did its small part to celebrate Nikola Tesla. Read the blog post here.
