Zanzibar (Billy Joel song) Entry includes the Pete Rose reference; just cross-reference the PR entry?

Draft; insert in Rose "Personal life" section just before the paragraph beginning "As of March 2014":

Pete Rose was referenced in the lyrics of the song "Zanzibar" originally released by Billy Joel in 1978 on the 52nd Street album: "Rose, he knows he's such a credit to the game / But the Yankees grab the headlines every time." The Wikipedia entry for that song provides more context on the lyrical reference, and also notes that in later live performances "instead of singing of Rose being 'a credit to the game,' Joel jokes that he will 'never make the Hall of Fame.' "

Outer Ring Road, Nairobi
The Outer Ring Road is a 13 km multi-lane highway located in Nairobi, Kenya. Construction funding was initially provided by the African Development Bank in 2012, although construction delays and increased traffic have delayed completion of the project. The highway runs primarily along the Eastlands area of Nairobi and connects major transportation hubs including the Nairobi-Thika Highway, Mombasa Road, and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

In August 2020, Kenya secured a $59 million (KSh6.4 billion) loan from the South Korean Export-Import Bank to build special lanes for high-capacity buses (bus rapid transit) to expand the road's carrying capacity.
