"Concerned about possible cuts in a tough budget year, the stars (Linda Ronstadt, Wynton Marsalis, and Josh Groban) told their stories in hopes of convincing politicians of the importance of maintaining funding for the arts, which they say is instrumental in helping youths succeed.
Involvement in the arts has been shown to improve overall performance in school. High school students who take four years of art and music scored 85 points higher on their SAT exams last year than their peers who did not, according to data from the College Board.
"Increasingly, people's experience with music is passive," Ronstadt said. "We need to teach our children to sing their own songs and play their own instruments, not just listen to their iPods."
"Including the arts in academics was so profound in getting me to focus on the other elements of my education," Groban, a former student at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, said in between handshakes and photographs.
One of the greatest dangers the U.S. faces is producing a generation lost on the meaning of music, Marsalis said. To demonstrate the role Americans must all play in educating youth, he told a story about jamming with older jazz players.
One of them commented on how loudly Marsalis' group of twentysomethings played. "So we started thinking, 'Why are we playing so loud?' " he said, seeming to still be pondering the question. "Why are we playing so loud?" No one had ever taught them any differently.""Concerned about possible cuts in a tough budget year, the stars (Linda Ronstadt,... more
America's first African-American president was serenaded by a large number of world-class performers at the nationally televised concert titled “We Are One” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial two days before Obama's inauguration. More than a few people at the National Mall on Sunday must have been reminiscing about the life of Marian Anderson, and just how amazed and proud she'd be.
Queen Latifah told the story of Marian Anderson, the renowned African-American opera singer who in 1939 had been barred from performing at Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Anderson was subsequently invited to perform on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial by Eleanor Roosevelt, who resigned her D.A.R membership in protest. Anderson sang the American anthem “My Country, 'Tis of Thee” before an integrated audience of an estimated 75,000 people. Today's crowd of more than 400,000 people watched a black-and-white film clip of Anderson's stirring performance seven decades ago, when few could have imagined that the son of an African father and a mother from Kansas could be elected president of the United States.
Marian Anderson's story was followed by a performance by Josh Groban and Heather Headley. They sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee" in what was clearly meant to be a historical metaphor. In this symbolic moment, which was a call for gay people's freedom, Groban and Headly were backed by the official Washington D.C. Gay Men's Chorus, with the red AIDS ribbons pinned to their chests.
This piece includes a number of photographs from the concert, along with the very moving music video of Josh Groban singing with the Washington D.C. Gay Men's Chorus.America's first African-American president was serenaded by a large number of... more

"Josh Groban’s Medley of TV Theme Songs" must be heard to be believed!! In a musical tribute, singer Josh Groban performed bits of memorable television theme songs at the "60th Primetime Emmy Awards.” More than two dozen classic television program openings were included in his four-minute-plus medley.
The Emmy medley diverges greatly from the pop-classical sound usually associated with Groban, and his performance of different parts of the medley ranges from pleasantly humorous to incredibly goofy!!

Last month Sarah Silverman presented a very funny video to her boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, on his television show. Silverman got Matt Damon to sing and dance in the music video, which had Silverman doing unspeakable things with Matt. It was a very, very funny piece.
Jimmy Kimmel swore that he was going to get even with Silverman for that, and now he has in a big, big way!! Immediately after the Oscars show on Sunday night, Kimmel fired back with a true blockbuster effort called “I’m F***king Ben Affleck.”
Kimmel's sweet comeback gayly features celebrity appearances from celebrities that include: Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Don Cheadle, Robin Williams, Huey Lewis, Rebecca Romijn, Macy Gray, Pete Wentz, Dominic Monaghan, Joel and Benji Madden, Josh Groban, Christina Applegate, Meat Loaf, Perry Farrell, Lance Bass, Joan Jett and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. (Hey... what was Josh Groban doin’ showing up here?? Also, he was sitting with Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres at the Oscars…Hmmmm….) In addition, Brad Pitt appears as the birthday cake delivery man, and there’s a full gospel choir singing something along the lines of We are the World!
This one ends up being a true epic, a real hoot!! Photographs and the very funny video are included. Enjoy!!Last month Sarah Silverman presented a very funny video to her boyfriend, Jimmy... more
