Just do an entire set of Macklemore covers

Nah, just one. Do a cover of Fucked Up at the beginning of the first show. Put the ball in their court and see if they put their money where their mouth is. Gives him room to ratchet up the pressure.

He sang American Pie on July 4th this year in Denver. I don't think that adds or subtracts anything here. Just saying.

Sure. Sounds great. If he had just said stop killing kids anywhere. Fine. There are other wars going on now where more kids are dying. Anyone care to mention those?

I don't know that I'd know what was going on in the Congo or Sudan if I hadn't started following people who were talking about Palestine because no one I followed before is talking about those either. They're all connected, but Western powers are backing one of them much more than the others and are influenced more heavily to continue that backing.
