And I'm not saying this to save myself, although this would be nice. I'm doing it to save you, because if you do this, you will be lost.

So after seeing these shocking statistics, I thought to myself, Okay, even if I'm not just doing it for myself and the fact that I don't want to bathe, I at least need to do it to try to save the world.

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.
