SpeedRacer 1 #1 October 2, 2001 I know this story (From The Onion.com) is almost two weeks old, but I had to post this:President Urges Calm, Restraint Among Nation's Ballad SingersWASHINGTON, DC— In the wake of the recent national tragedy, President Bush is urging Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and other singers to resist the urge to record mawkish, insipid all-star tribute ballads. "To America's recording artists, I just want to say, please, there has already been enough suffering," Bush said. "The last thing we need right now is a soaring Barbra Streisand-Brian McKnight duet titled 'One For All.'" Reports that the FBI had confiscated several notebooks and audio tapes from Diane Warren's home could not be confirmed as of press time.Speed Racer"Come up to my lab,And see what's on the slab!"

phatcat 0 #5 October 3, 2001 I was thinking about this the same day as the WTC attack. Believe me, I feel as strongly as anybody about it but I was like geez, now somebody’s gonna go and try and make another “We Are the World”. God I hated that song.Josh"Well I may be crazy, but YOU'RE boring!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apoil 0 #6 October 3, 2001 They still play "we are the world" here in Singapore. A LOT!I was having the same thoughts.Then I saw an article that Michael Jackson had announced plans to bring together a group of artists to perform a tribute called "What more can I give?"I would donate money for him NOT to do that.

lummy 4 #9 October 19, 2001 I read in the paper today that everyone is bailing on Micheal Jackson for his concert. Seems everyone would rather hang out with Paul McCartney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
