I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of a link. I’d suggest that you spend at least 9 hours on it if you can.
