Jeg havde lige forladt Wall Street, klippet mit hår for at ligne Margaret Mead, givet væk næsten alt, hvad jeg ejede, og ankom med alt det vigtigste -- noget poesi, noget tøj og selvfølgelig en guitar -- for jeg skulle redde verden, og jeg tænkte, jeg bare ville starte med det afrikanske kontinent.
