They make contributions to make themselves look good in the public eye. They don't give a shit about needy people and countries ridden with AIDS or etc. They do it all for the glory of the newspaper article of the TV headline of, "Green Day and REM among the thousands that turn out to donate to the AIDS turmoil in Africa." Do you honestly think that these musicians go into this "charity" stuff saying, "This is all for the people. I'm not doing it for publicity." No. Because they don't. Why do you think half of these celebs have cameramen following them around? They do it so the public can SEE that they're doing something nice for the less fortunate. I guess I'm just cynical, but I don't find anyone in Hollywood "good people." They're all out for the same thing; making themselves look like saviours and the greatest people in the world.

Oh and excuse me for liking my President and supporting him. And yes, people like REM and Moby DO need to get lives. Instead of bashing the President in their so-called "raising awareness" songs, they should shut the fuck up and just donate and do it without all of the put downs. Sorry, but putting down the President and the way he handles things does not make the AIDS turmoil in Africa any better. It doesn't make it go away. For those who need to know, I have donated to many charities in the past. Do I want glory for that? No. Just saying so no one quotes me and tells me to donate.

I'm all for people expressing their opinions through art, music and whatever medium. It just becomes sorta redundant to hear these "great" musicians going the childish route by bashing my President. To me, it makes them look immature and those who are easily impressionable are taken in by it. If they're happy with that - then God bless them. All I know is, I don't have to listen to people who act like that.

Oh and please don't call me naive or childish. You don't even know me. If you want to personally attack me then do it in PMs, but don't do it on the forums. Thank you.
