Michael Palin said in Guardian Unlimited:

He came here because he probably would have died, as his father did, in the wars ... The camp he was in in Kenya was overcrowded and pretty horrible. The Somalis were disliked by the Kenyans, who thought they were bringing more trouble into Kenya. He got away from that and he comes to the UK, a place he doesn't really know anything about and gets into a situation where he just feels lost and gets very depressed.

And I'm not talking about Michael Palin either: he's the nice member of Monty Python and he's a bona fide writer to boot. Anyway, "author" Sarah Palin crapped out of a book signing at a Borders in Noblesville, Indiana without signing all the copies.

said in The Independent:

It's the European première of the oratorio ... We have done two nights at the Hollywood Bowl, and it's in great shape. Michael Palin is going to introduce it in full drag and Terry Jones will play a Welsh miner. It will be very formal, more like going to see the Proms. But it tells the same story, and there are songs such as, 'What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us?' and we'll do the 'Bright Side of Life', of course.
