| Stars plan global peace song |
| 2002-09-13 |
| Eurythmics star Dave Stewart has teamed up with reggae legend Jimmy Cliff to write a song for global peace. The musicians hope the song, called Peace For One Day, will be played by radio stations across the planet. The pair has collaborated with British film-maker Jeremy Gilley who wants 21 September to become a global day of ceasefire. Stand back! My gorge is rising...! Stewart said: "The idea was to make a song that on 21 September we'll get as many stations around the world to play, and DJs to talk about what it's all about. Simultaneously in all these countries there'll be millions of people listening." Millions of people, tossing their cookies at the same time... |

| #4 "Peace for a day" is to be followed by the ever popular "Nobody move, Nobody get hurt", with an encore of "The harder they come" and "I shot the Sheriff". |

| #1 Apparently, that thing on 9/21 is a UN thing and you can read about it here. What they want to do is: "To encourage the observation of a worldwide, 24-hour vigil for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace, Saturday, 21 September 2002 in every house of worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world." I'm cool with it. It'll keep 'em out of my face for a day. |
