“For some reason – I always married an Indian woman, my two wives were Indians. And I was reading a book one day, and Tamoki was some great Indian chief in America.”… “One day I met Michael Rose at the bottom of Penwood Road, And he said to me he liked the label Uhuru. And he asked if he could use the name. I said just use the name. And I won’t use it. So then I went to the ‘Phantom’ comic and found the name Wambesi.”
