Deconstructing Toto (the band, not the dog)

Today I thought I’d treat you to a real laugh, as short story writer, novelist and comedic talent Steve Almond takes apart, line by line, the song “Africa” by one of the truly bad bands of our time, Toto.

(Almond recently published a book called on the premise of whether or not Rock and Roll really has the ability to change your life. I’ve read a bit of it and it is very, very funny.)
