I believe David Paich has claimed the song is written from the perspective of someone who has never been to Africa and is guessing what it is like there. Exactly what he is trying to prove here is unclear, because a) he wrote the song; and b) he'd never been to Africa and was only guessing what it was like there.

Also, lots of parts of Africa get lots of rain. Just not the desert parts.

Seems cruelly ironic to have "bless the rains down in Africa" in a part of Africa that doesn't get any drat rain.

Obviously the proper way forward here is to hack it so it plays something better/different as folks have said. I bet it'll be internet connected so it can be monitored to make sure it's working etc. Someone page YOSPOS this might be of interest :)

Exploration is ill-advised.
As someone who's been in the desert when it rains: it does rain in the desert, very occasionally, but when it does so it rains pretty drat hard.

Las Vegas has a monsoon season. Every year people drown. The rains flood the main thoroughfares, and leave piles of rocks three feet tall blocking entire lanes on Sahara and Tropicana.

Man Injects 18 ‘Doses’ of Semen Into Arm to Cure Back Pain, Ends Up in Hospital

I get the sense that the doctors were disappointed he didn’t let them cut him open and look at the semen.

The whole thing is gold, and it’s not long.

quote:

A search of more eclectic internet sites and forums found no other documentation of semen injection for back pain treatment or other uses. Attempts at intravenous and arterial injection of harmful substances such as mercury, gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, hydrochloric acid and hydrocarbon2-7 are well described and are generally carried out in attempted suicide as opposed to the case detailed above in which the patient was aiming to relieve physical discomfort.

Bit of both, I think. Five or six years ago, I think a kid got swept away on a main street. The water runs insanely fast and deep at the edges of the street when a big rain hits. Crowned roads + no drainage.

The whole "fallen angel" conception of Lucifer is mostly extrabiblical. The only time the word appears in the Bible is when the author of Isaiah is talking poo poo about the King of Babylon. It comes mostly from medieval readings of Revelation that only persist today in crazyass fundamentalist circles. That is to say the idea of Lucifer as a fallen angel is about as biblical as the Rapture.

And the Antichrist. 'Antichrist' only crops up in the Bible as a term used to describe anyone who's against Christ - it's a generic term. But people for some reason conflate the term with the false prophet of Revelation while also misunderstanding what Revelation says about that figure in that particular drug trip that's about Rome.
