OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT VIDEO! That video is so cool! Ali is the luckiest
woman on earth! Whoo hooo! For once VH1 is cooler than MTV.
By the way, we flooded Carson Daly with requests for U2.
Ok, today in my Intro to World Music class (no, not a music major -
microbiology rules! :-) ) our topic was Victor Jara. "Jara sang his song a
weapon, in the hands of love, You know his blood still cries from the
ground." I understand that now. Jara was killed by General Pinochet in
Chile because he chose to sing. Gen Pinochet was persecuting people and
did not like Jara taking direct political action like that in his songs.
He only sought to promote the Latin American culture. Anyways, Jara
refused to stop singing for the crowd in the coluseum where he was to be
killed and Gen Pinochet broke his hands to make him stop playing guitar.
Jara kept singing, pissing off Pinochet, so Pinochet killed him.
More power to Jara. May he always be thought of on "One Tree Hill"
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Bono,
Vanessa
