Many of you have already seen it, but the reason to watch it again or for the first time is to see how we must rid ourselves of someone who would call that a shit hole country.
We must repair this country so that NONE OF US would walk past starving children and do nothing, and not care.
This is battle of life and death for real. Not just for us but for everyone on this fucking planet.

IIRC, it was a sweltering day in London, but Bryan Ferry was his usual cool, smooth self, dressed in a button-down shirt and suit jacket (as usual).

(34,167 posts)Getting the American artists on board and doing things in the United States about this how that changes the game, you see how the rest of the world looked up to us and admired us, the rest of the free world that is.
Weve lost all of that, all of it is gone. Im angry and I want it back!😡

It was a Herculean effort with the participation of generous and well meaning people. Sadly most of the money was taken by a corrupt government and squandered. I have my fears that the same thing would happen again.
