In the days of yore when the internet was young and crowded by academics, there was a famous chile quote used as a footline by many people, you might remember it: "It doesn't matter who you are, or what you've done, or think you can do. There's a confrontation with destiny awaiting you. Somewhere, there is a chile you cannot eat." Daniel Pinkwater, A Hot Time in Nairobi. I tried to track it down a couple years ago with no luck and thought someone had made it up and everyone else was just copying it. Today, looking for reasons to get away from composing, I made another effort and I found it! It's the title of a radio essay it seems and you can hear the entire episode read by the author: http://www.pinkwater.com/podcast/podcast.php?showid=103 Have fun! wolf
