From the In the Sun Foundation website:

In the sun foundation.org is the home of a very special project launched by R.E.M.'s lead singer, Michael Stipe, in response to the ongoing hardship experienced by thousands of residents of the Gulf Coast. More than five months later, many are still displaced by the devastating effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita with no relief imminent, and yet, the news cycle has moved on, taking our focus, as a nation, away from something which still should be at the center of our attention. In this spirit, Stipe felt moved to join others who have remained dedicated to the cause, reminding the public in his own way, through music, that there is still an incredible amount of work to be done: "Things are not fine. The storm is still impacting people's lives in very real ways and many have been left desperate.   I want to remind each of us that as humans, and certainly as Americans, it is our responsibility to help those in need... I had to do something as a public figure. The one thing I can do is sing, and it's probably the best way to get people to pay attention.

All proceeds from this project go to MercyCorps.

Bill Gates has given more to charity than any human being in history.  Bono leveraged his celebrity status to entice the leaders of our richest nations to forgive $50 Billion in debt to poor countries.  I wonder how many lives they have saved through their actions?

"For being shrewd about doing good, for rewiring politics and re-engineering justice, for making mercy smarter and hope strategic and then daring the rest of us to follow..."

"These are not the people you expect to come to the rescue. Rock stars are designed to be shiny, shallow creatures, furloughed from reality for all time. Billionaires are even more removed, nestled atop fantastic wealth where they never again have to place their own calls or defrost dinner or fly commercial"

He is the best musician around today, in my estimation.  I find myself referring to the complicated and meaningful memes that he weaves into his music frequently.  His piano talent is unmatched in todays popular music scene -- except for the mighty Vanessa Carlton.  Ha.

Here is a video that looks more like a home movie of his 3 year old son:  Link
