Such sentiments are common. Every word Koizumi speaks is golden. Whether celebrating with a champion sumo wrestler, tossing a baseball back and forth with President Bush, or commiserating with leprosy victims mistreated for decades by the government, Koizumi has touched a downcast nation. A record label has released a CD of his favorite Elvis hits. There's a mint-flavored Koizumi chewing gum. Last week stores started selling a coffee-table book with snapshots of Koizumi in a bathrobe, Koizumi reading, Koizumi playing baseball, Koizumi eating noodles.

...present on the scene. Living there gives me a certain inspiration; it allows me to keep my passion for music alive. There's a lot of great young talent in Dakar. Every two or three years, I actually produce an album for someone, but I also started a record label called Jololy, and I think that with the passage of time some of these young people are going to do better than I. I listen to a lot of things in the music of today. But I also have a particular weakness for the music of the '60s. I listen...
