It seems that every time I come back to write it's always in an angry rant! Well, this time it will be different, I have nothing negative to say! Ok, not really. I do have something that's been eating away at me and I'm gonna vent here where only five people will read it...ha, ha. Ok, here it goes...
Maybe it's because I don't drink fluoridated water, or use toothpaste with fluoride in it, for that matter...but I have this inherent need to question things! It makes me angry to see all these artists (new ones this time) come together again to raise money for Haiti. And no, not because I see a dark political objective or because it isn't a good thing...it's because...well...because...
It was filmed/recorded at Henderson Studios on La Brea Avenue. And just like before, when it was recorded at A&M Recording studios in Hollywood, it is only a few minutes drive from a place where there are people starving and without shelter. At least some of those artists drove right past people living in horrendous conditions on their way to the studio. I just don't understand our way of thinking. Why do we feel the need to send money, food and clothing to third world nations when we have people in need here???
Sometimes I think it's kind of like taking your sweet ass time when the collection plate comes by at your church...just to make sure everyone sees you throw in a big wad of cash. Is it going to a good cause? Sure. But your reward is the praise of men, and not a heavenly one.
Don't get me wrong, what am I doing for Haiti? Nothing really. All I'm saying is that we don't have to go very far in search of finding someone to help. Why can't all these artists do the same for the people here? That's all I'm saying. Ahhhh. I feel better now. Thanks, Xanga!
***Oh, and for the record, I think someone needs to tel Wyclef that he messed up the song. And another thing, since when do Auto Tune/Vocodors count as singing???
