Rock Myths #18

Due to a fear of bloodsucking Tsetse Flies, Steve Porcaro of Eighties cheese-rock-mongers Toto refused to take his band to tour the entire African continent during his touring days with them. Ironically when they finally did tour in the late Eighties, after Porcaro had 'taken a back seat' the 1st meal they were served in a Nairobi restaurant was fried Tsetse Flies in a coconut sauce - otherwise known as Rosanna-style , a dish the band would later incarnate in song form on the hit track "Hold The Line".
