This track was Toto's highest charting since original vocalist Bobby Kimball left the band in 1984. You may recognise it as the main sample in the 2001 UK number one single 'Another Chance' by Roger Sanchez. This ballad features Eagles bassist Timothy B Schmit on backing vocals. Written by keyboard player David Paich and sung by Bobby Kimball, this was Toto’s first ever single.ĭrummer Jeff Porcaro said of the track: “It was a perfect example of what people will describe as your heavy metal chord guitar licks, your great triplet A-notes on the piano, your ‘Sly’-hot-fun-in-the-summertime groove, all mishmashed together with a boy from New Orleans singing, and it really crossed over a lot of lines.” 4. As a joke, the band members initially played along with the common assumption that the song was based on actress Rosanna Arquette, who was dating Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro at the time and coincidentally had the same name.Īrquette herself played along with the joke, commenting in an interview that the song was about “my showing up at 4 am, bringing them juice and beer at their sessions”. Written by David Paich, he has said that the song is based on numerous girls he had known. Paich said: “There was a little bit of autobiographical information in there: being consumed by my work, not having time to go out and pursue getting married and raising a family and doing all the things that other people do that were my age at the time”.

Drummer Jeff Porcaro later said that it was about “a white boy trying to write a song on Africa, but since he’s never been there, he can only tell what he’s seen on TV or remembers in the past”. The initial idea for this song came from Toto member David Paich. He is enamoured with the country, but must leave if he is going to be with her. This song tells the story of a man who comes to Africa and must make a decision about the girl who comes to see him.

We will not duck, we will not hide, we will hold the line.“ - Maria Ressa “When I look back a decade from now, I want to make sure I have done all I can. Victims of the war, critical politicians in hiding and members of the death squads give insight into the real “war on drugs“ of president Duterte. The documentary gives a rare behind the scenes access to Maria and her staff and accompanies them over a year during threats to their work and life. Facebook trolls hunt her online and in real life to silence her. Duterte weaponizes social media and the law to control the country. She becomes a target of a legal smear campaign by the government and is being imprisoned twice. Facts, first class journalism and kindness are her defense. Maria is the last woman standing in an unjust war and is being recognized for holding the line against the downfall of democracy by TIME magazine as person of the year in 2018. In the Philippines, journalist Maria Ressa and her team from the news platform Rappler fight against a violent president who executes tens of thousands of people with death squads and turns the country into a dictatorship. In many countries of the world democracies are eroding from within.
