I had just left Wall Street, cut my hair to look like Margaret Mead, given away most everything that I owned, and arrived with all the essentials — some poetry, a few clothes, and, of course, a guitar — because I was going to save the world, and I thought I would just start with the African continent.
Acababa de dejar Wall Street, cortarme el cabello para parecerme a Margaret Mead, regalado casi todas mis posesiones y llegado con todo lo esencial — algunas poesías, un poco de ropa y, por supuesto, una guitarra — porque iba a salvar el mundo y pensaba que sólo empezaría con el continente africano.
