We need to talk about Common and John Legend last night

[cilla4progress]

at the Golden Globes.

Haven't seen Selma yet, need to listen to their award-winning song.

How about that speech? Wonderful.

Discuss.

1. It was good.

I am glad they spoke up and continued to increase the awareness of the issues affecting our country.

3. Funny how little coverage they are receiving from

the corporate media. Yes - they were great.

[JustAnotherGen]

4. I'm sorry - I didn't watch it

Can't comment . . .

5. Wonder if you could YouTube it

Common talked about how participating in the film (Selma) raised his awareness and, in his words, humanity. He met true veterans of the civil rights era, the 1950s-60s.

His acceptance speech was beautiful and moving.

12. Oh my god, thank you, bigtree.

Shades of church, gospel, hip hop, spoken word poems ...

Very moving. Universal. Heart-stopping.

Thank you.
