"What I like about Paul Simon is that he's a very brave human being. He was the
first one to perform in South Africa. When not one single international act has
performed there, Paul was the first one. So that's why, every time he takes the flak,
he's like the one who's brave enough to say that: Hey, listen, man - it's all about music
at the end of the day. Let's have fun." - Ray Phirl

Peter Gabriel: "Prior to Graceland, the music of South Africa was largely unknown outside the country,
except to a small minority of world music fans. The music at its best brimmed with life
and emotion, and was charged with a blend of spirituality and sensuality. With his elegant
composition and diffident observations, Paul Simon fused these elements with his own
extraordinary songwriting skills. He produced an irresistible and classic album, which I
have played many, many times." - Peter Gabriel
