I was watching "E! THS: Lionel Richie" yesterday -- um, by accident -- and was reminded that he was one of the key forces behind "We Are the World." It struck me that it was only a matter of time before a team of artists collaborated to record the tsunami disaster single.
It's an interesting phenomenon in modern society, where a group of recording artists will always get together to create a big feel-good from feel-bad moneymaker chart-topper in the name of poverty, war, terrorist attacks, and now, natural disaster. This is one of the job responsibilities of the pop star. Besides appearing in US Magazine and the occasional drug habit, you also have to enlist with your fellow celebrity to sing one line on a song that will change the world.
And lo and behold, this morning one of the headlines on my Yahoo! News
was that Cliff Richard will spearhead the tsunami disaster single featuring the UK's favorite stars. Well, the order of the world is restored. Now I can relax.
In other announcements, coffee must always, always be enjoyed with half and half.
