Many Rivers to Cross

So, yeah, I watch American Idol. And yes, I even watched the two-and-a-half hour special, Idol Gives Back, which was on two nights ago and raised millions of dollars for various relief efforts and projects in Africa and here in the United States.

Yes, I watched, and yes, I was shaken by the heartbreaking stories that filled up my television screen, and yes, most definitely yes, I sat, quietly stunned, while Annie Lennox sat at a piano, alone on stage, and played and sang Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross."
