Today, I decided to present to you a music - 'What's Going On?'. This is a original by Marvin Gaye of 1971, but in October 2001, a group of many popular artists, such as Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Bono, Jennifer Lopez, Ja Rule, among others, under the name "Artists Against AIDS Worldwide", released an album - ''All Stars Tribute'' - to benefit AIDS programs in Africa and other impoverished regions. So, enjoy the song:
This song tells about the discrimination that people who have with AIDS suffer (Physical Discrimination) and also about the political and social troubles of the world of black and white people (Racial Discrimination). As I said before, on my post about the U.S.A, they are the most multiracial population, so unfortunately these problems are very common in their society. The blindfolds represent the prejudices and they are taking the blindfolds off like a methaphore - Without blindfolds, we can see everything clear. It means that we are all equal, we can't discriminate anyone for being or having a different colour, race, religion, culture or gender. This was made in 2001, but we're in 2009...and nothing have changed.
So the question is: What's going on?

I really like this song, i know maybe it was really famous, but i didn't knew it :$
The lyrics are perfect, and i loved that part you said 'This was made in 2001, but we're in 2009...and nothing have changed.'
The most of people still believe that this type of problems will never appear on themselfs, and we're talking about a huge and eternal problem!
All of our hopes are getting down, but we can't quit of fighting through this desease.
Bring on more musics, strengh's and help like this :D
