music makes the people come together

i thought i should post this information as a continuation or, second part of an earlier blog entry. i had asked where was the gulf coasts "tsunami" bennifit concerts? where was our country helping out it's own people? well, the music industry thus far, alone, according to my calculations of reports through billboard.com has raised about $8.3 million dollars. way to go! it's clearly not enough, but along with other funds being raised... it's an impressive start.

one can not only report on how our country may be faultering, but you have to point out the examples, and proof of our country working, also.

we seem to have a strange reaction as americans. first, we sit stunned... or unmoved... and then after a second or two... we start acting. possibly because we don't like bad things said about us? i don't know... but we started moving, and i guess in the end, that's what matters.

new orleans will be rebulit. as, we now turn to face other things that are going on in the world, and in our own back yard.

we must not lose faith in ourselves. what if it was all we had?

--- in other news, my search for a new job goes on. the reworking of the den also goes on... britney spears is now somebody's mom, and george bush is STILL president... it all goes on.
