Brian Adams Mystery Solved

This was probably the biggest breakthrough I've had since arriving here. Today I uncovered the mystery of why Mozambicans have an unnatural love of Brian Adams. Turns out, Brian's dad was a diplomat and he grew up in Portugal. The Portuguese consider him one of their own, and apparently their love of Brian filtered down to their colonies. And that is why millions of Mozambicans who can't speak a word of English manage to stumble through every lyric (hilariously incorrectly) in the Brian Adams collection.

This just goes to show you that rock & roll knows no cultural or lingual boundries.
