there. i am in love with egypt, always been in love with egypt since the day i went there for school and including my youngest daughter, with david bowie, her name is alexandria, after the city. >> so did you ever see this potential of this kind of rise of a revolution, even then in the late '60s? >> yes, because i was in egypt when nasser was around. there was always that kind of a feeling especially in the third world and volatile spaces like the middle east. there is always that you are on that edge that anything can happen at any given time. to have a revolution like this happen so peacefully, it is quite unheard of and quite brilliant.
