Jason Castro has to be the coolest American Idol contestant ever! He’s a genuine person (a speculated stoner) and he is an AMAZING SINGER. The song he sang on Tuesday (Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley) is number 1 on iTunes (which is too mainstream for my taste, but whatever.) Video of his performance below!
Tolerance of any person, regardless or sexual orientation, race or religion, is so important in our hateful society. Why should we care if our president is black, muslim or gay? It doesn’t matter, as long as he/she does a good job.
An Ellen DeGenres Show video I saw on youtube inspired me, so I’m going to put it below.
Caution: If you don’t want to sporatically break into tears, don’t watch this.
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the wold
This the beginning of the end
This the most heinous of crimes
This the deadliest of sins
The greatest violation of all time
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Youve seen her stripped mined
Youve heard of bombs exploded underground
You know the sun shines
Hotter than ever before
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
Some claim to have crowned her
A queen
With cities of concrete and steel
But there is no glory no honor
In what results
From the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
We all are witness
To the rape of the world
She has been clear-cut
She has been dumped on
She has been poisoned and beaten up
And we have been witness
To the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Place of our birth
How can we stand aside
And watch the rape of the world
If you look youll see it with your own eyes
If you listen you will hear her cries
If you care you will stand and testify
And stop the rape of the world
Stop the rape of the world
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
Mother of us all
