I made an album, initially in collaboration with some friends, and it's aimed to be given away for those who need income. But practrically I work solely now while the album is not complete yet. Have no idea what to do. Just go with the flow. 😉

I'm part of ONE and RED as well as a few others and it only makes you realize how valuable and how much easier our lives are. These organizations help individuals recognize the hardships and disease that others are experiencing. 'Throwing money' at these issues exploits them and draws more attention to them so we can come together and try to help (big voice) our fellow man as forgotmygloss said. And it also helps prevent it from happening to other countries, so they are actually helpful in some ways. A small gesture goes a long way
Dark Side of the Moon is so great. It was on the best seller list in the US for like 7 years straight or something. In the US we say something will happen 'when pigs fly'. BTW - There was a flying pig in the Simpsons episode with Paul and Linda, too.
hey, i'd love to hear that, i think... altho, maybe you can instead just email me your catalog of stuff and we'll see what we can see??? i'm sad today. i wanted to post a video of me doing a billy preston song saturday night, and i cannot chop the thing down enough to have it fit into a managable size enough to send, or post anywhere.... (make frowny face with pouty lip)
I'd like someone to do followup on all of these concerts which obviously raise millions of dollars for so many causes. How much money is actually going to the cause? How has the concert, a year later, truly impacted the lives of so many living in poverty in the world? What has actually changed? patti ops:
Kind of "off topic" (or is it??) ... but I always loved the way "Rocky and Bullwinkle" (the cartoon) ended when I was a kid. At the tail end of the show, while the credits were running, they always had this little circus thing happening ... and the final scene was the elephants being followed by the clean-up crew. Thought I'd throw in a little zanny levity ... just for the heck of it. :
It's not so much a sign of laziness as it is an increasingly accepted societal/cultural norm. I've been a high school teacher for twenty years and have seen the gradual increase in students' use of profanity. It requires constant effort on the part of teachers to discourage students' use. They don't even realize they're using it, indeed, they don't really think of it as "profanity" anymore. patti ops:
This thread and the link helped to answer my question about what happened to the money raised. It would also be helpful to see visual images of the impact on peoples' lives in the countries targeted. patti ops:
yah know after 10 years of paying debts to the interest rate loaners the debtor countries have at least on average of interest rates paid minimum 100%, and if not close to, profit on the investment so be it that when the aforementioned period of 10 years has expired so does the interest rate on the debt. On an international trade level the debt release would level out when everyone has the decency to live up to it as for their and everyones children in a common bind.
