    I've loved your music since you were in Genesis and then your solo venture. Saw you play many, many times at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. You've continued to inspire me for over 30 years. We almost crossed paths at the Global Philanthropy Forum this year, but I wasn't able to make it at the last minute.  In any case, love the fusion of music and human rights focus (e.g. Biko). As an anthropologist, it's something I aspire to do, to blend work and music on my Chapman stick.

    Palestine (excerpt)

    I plant my hennaed hands
    in the soil of my ancestral lands
    I breast-fed my babies in fields of wheat
    under the shade of grandpa's olive trees
    the land is my blood
    the trees speak to me
    the land is my breath
    who will set us free
    to live in peace?
