Playing for Change

by Vig





I have watched this video at last twenty times in the last while. And since there have been over 5 million views, chances are you have seen it as well. It touches me deeply. I love the song to begin with, and in this rendition I love how the different styles and musical textures meld so well together. And it just sounds good. I have been trying to think of a topic to come from this video and I can’t really think of one. So I will give you a couple of the thoughts that are wandering around my brain. “Playing for Change” the producers of this video – see themselves as “a group of artists and inspired people who have come together to connect the world through music”. I think this is an amazing commitment to peace, but is this possible? Is music really a global unifier? How does music connect you with people who you might not normally connect with? If we substitute the word "supports" for "stands by", who stands by you and who do you stand by? What does this song or this version, mean to you?

Carol I don't like Denise either.

I think it was on Perez Hilton site that showed a pic of her sitting on the beach with her legs wide open, and her LABIA hanging out of her bathing suit bottoms.

So when I see her on tv that is what I remember about her, not that she was married to Richard Sheen.

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - I guess we are correct!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,
He is not a country singer?

night.owls.sb said...

GILLES MARINI -- Gilles Marini exploded onto the scene as Dante, the Casanova living in the beach house next door to Kim Cattrall's Samantha in the Sex and the City movie, a role which has earned him international recognition. Born and raised in France, Gilles joined the French army and was stationed in Paris, where he acted as a fireman for the famous Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris. After fulfilling his military duties, Gilles decided to go to the United States to learn English while working as a model. Gilles, who has appeared in series such as Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money, and Criminal Minds, will next be seen as Vanessa Redgrave's husband on FX's Nip/Tuck. Gilles currently resides in California with his wife Carole, son Georges, and daughter Juliana.

night.owls.sb said...

Ebj,
I had no idea who Gilles was either, until I just looked it up..

night.owls.sb said...

Oh, Jewels husband is a rodeo guy..

Now I get it...

MEK in AZ said...

I meant we are correct on Ty and Jewel being married.

AND - I will retract my "he's not too bad to look at" - cuz he's not that great!!!

Yes, Julianna's boyfriend IS a country singer..

night.owls.sb said...

Ebj,
MALABIA lol..

East Bay J said...

I don't listen to country music so that's why I haven't heard of the 2singers, and don't watch Sex in the City so that's why I don't know who the hell Gilles Marini is! :)

night.owls.sb said...

Mek... LOL.. not good to look at..

MEK in AZ said...

I never watched "Sex in the City" - so I still don't know who that guy is.....

I do LOVE Nancy O'Dell - she'll look great in those skimpy outfits.
