In My View, Africa's Real Problems Are

Africa Has Been Troubled For A Long Time - Well, The World Has Been Troubled Ever Since I Was Born.

To Tell You The Truth, Man, We Spend Most Of The Time Travelling In Hotels, In Festivals, In Concert Halls, Clubs, Airports. The Most Unenjoyable Part Is All The Security At Airports.

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.

I Am A Forward-looking Person And Live In The Moment To Build For The Future.

I Just Came From South Africa, A Place That Had Been In A Perpetual Uprising Since 1653, So The Uprising Had Become A Way Of Life In Our Culture And We Grew Up With Rallies And Strikes And Marches And Boycotts.
