commentary on the billboard music awards:
beneath the crass commercialism, divisiveness and glorification of violence there is unity and even love somewhere to be found in all of us. the tribute to jam master jay was inspiring as artists from different races, sexes and genres joined together to celebrate the life of a soldier of peace. i was moved to the edge of tears by the unity and hope embodied in the embraces on stage and darrel mac and jmj's wife's speeches put me over the edge. unfortunately, somtimes it takes tragedy to bring people together.
