Crazy, Crazy, Crazy

This morning I was accompanied on my drive to the station by the catchy sounds of Michael Franti singing on the radio.

I enjoy his music not just because it is tuneful but also because I admire him as a popular musician who is prepared to make a political statement in the name of promoting the good side of humanity.

The song was Crazy, Crazy, Crazy.

Then this evening I read about the continuing violence in Iraq, which reminded me of the chorus:

It's crazy, crazy, crazy
No stoppin' to this warfare
It's crazy, crazy
We're breathing in the same air
It's crazy, crazy, crazy
Don't tell me that you don't care...
And just before the song concludes:
No life's worth more than any other
No sister worth less than any brother
Peace. Worth singing for.
