Yep, thats what Joe Cocker's New song is saying....last night on the Celeberty sing a thon for the Victims......Oh and Kayne West got to sing a rap us with All the Celeb's gathered around him providing support.....<br /><br />Later Morgan freeman tells us that we all need to stop pointing fingers at one another. Kayne West and the these liberals stand by what he said. <br /><br />But Morgan tells us ( who hes talking to?) stop pointing fingers...<br /><br />Too bad these folks are inserting their politics into their request for people to help. Lots of folks like me will find another agency to give to.

That song was first recorded in 1974; it's about the flood of 1927.

Yeah, I was upset with Randy's song before I checked on the date. No harm, no foul, you go Randy . . .
