I think part of what I was sorta kinda [maybe not] talking about was this weird box people seem to put celebrities in. I mean, has "Star Power" /really/ affected that much change in society? Like, you gotta hand it to Stevie Wonder for King Day, and that "We are the world" tune (hey, looky /there/!) rocked, but, seriously? *Music* seems to be pretty powerful... crazy... *mumbleprobablysomesubliminalshitmumble* But how much weight does even a super famous person have (discounting Oprah, who proves the rule)? I guess I just kinda doubt that people will "hear", even if they listen. I mean, if it takes someone you see on T.V. or whatever... bah. Probably just being pessimistic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chp2u2ln8_E Anyways, MJ was a freaking bad-ass. http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/06/26/gal_jackson16.jpg Fucking Pepsi. -- Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
