One day in my blameless youth, circa 1985, I heard Billy Joel's "Zanzibar". It was the only song of his I could tolerate—at the least the lyrics meant something. Or so I thought. From the muffled noises that passed for music in those days, this much I knew Billy Joel was singing about a man named Ali, a bar, and a place called Zanzibar. I wasn't quite old enough to go to bars but I knew that when I could, I would want to go to one that was dimly lit, with a thatched roof, on stilts, reached by walking across cool white sand.
