The Great Moments Of Rock 'n' Roll

Africa Is A Continent In Flames. And Deep Down, If We Really Accepted That Africans Were Equal To Us, We Would All Do More To Put The Fire Out. We're Standing Around With Watering Cans, When What We Really Need Is The Fire Brigade.

I Truly Believe That When The History Books Are Written, Our Age Will Be Remembered For Three Things: The War On Terror, The Digital Revolution, And What We Did - Or Did Not Do - To Put The Fire Out In Africa. History, Like God, Is Watching What We Do.

As Hard As It Is, As Ghetto As It Is, Hip-hop Is Pop Music. It's The Sound Of Music Getting Out Of The Ghetto, While Rock Is Looking For A Ghetto.

I Remember How My Mother Would Bring Us To Chapel On Sundays... And My Father Used To Wait Outside. One Of The Things That I Picked Up From My Father And My Mother Was The Sense That Religion Often Gets In The Way Of God. For Me, At Least, It Got In The Way.

You See, Africa Makes A Fool Of Our Idea Of Justice. It Makes A Farce Of Our Idea Of Equality. It Mocks Our Pieties. It Doubts Our Concern. It Questions Our Commitment. Because There Is No Way We Can Look At What's Happening In Africa, And If We're Honest, Conclude That It Would Ever Be Allowed To Happen Anywhere Else.
