one of the last, honest musicians this world has left....

....anyhow, this goes with the saying "you can say so much with speaking so little"

very powerful message.

Dude, music is universal, you don't have to be an American to be able to appreciate the message. He's an incredible songwriter and instrumentalist who writes lyrics in the way that most songwriters could only dream of being able to. He's been inducted into the hall of fame for Christ's sake. Shame that whenever someone stands up and speaks in a positive way to the heart of real people all over the world, that there are still sick people out there like you to twist it around.

@CharlesNigro get a goddamn life....

@willyrobinson Did you visit the website? It's just about Human Rights for everyone...including everyone in Burma. Obviously we enjoy the right to voice our opinions. It would be nice if everyone could. I don't agree with your statement, but I'm very glad you exercised your right to post it.

Get a goddamn haircut......

I don't see anything wrong with this video. You gotta guy who moved a lot of people with his music, therefore empowering him to encourage others to do something constructive on behalf of the misfortunate. Seems like a pretty good thing to me. People coming on here spouting out words like"libtard" makes them sound like the usual brainwashed Palin addicts. We really cannot take you serious and you are wasting text.

[namsak]

I love your music but what the fuck do you know about Burma ? Why not start on your own disfunctional, emperialistic, oppressive regime ?

[willyrobinson]

Burma is a state in opposition to the 5th columnist parasitic order operating out of NYC, DC, London, Tel Aviv, etc.

One of a few. I respect him for pushing for liberty here - but don't criticize another state & people just b/c they choose a different path.

[worldrunner]

My impression from spending between 5 to 10 minutes talking with Jackson was that he is not wrapped up in his celebrity status -- quite the opposite! He was not stand-offish at all, but it seemed that he was mildly shy. He has learned to accept the approach of complete strangers as a necessary part of his musician status, especially when he is raising funds for good causes. Behind the music is a sensitive human being who deeply cares about improving this world.

Wonder if he'd fight against censorship of white, Christian right-wing militia members in the US?

This libtard isn't in Burma. It is easy to speak in freedom. Go to Burma you libtard and let's see if you have the guts to speak out. You have spoken out against your own country. Go to hell, pal.
