If I ever went to Africa, Ghana is one of the countries that most interests me. I can’t really explain why – it’s partly related to my econo-geekery: Ghana is a remarkable economic success story, in many respects, in a region replete with disasters. That, in and of itself, is interesting. But as the culture grows more prosperous, it takes on the trappings of the globalized bourgeois everywhere. One aspect: pop music and videos.
I spent part of the afternoon yesterday watching Ghanian music videos. This behavior is inexplicable.
What I’m listening to right now.
Becca, “Daa Ke Daa.”
And meanwhile, reading Henry James. Why did I ever dislike this author?
