Kids With Cancer And Rock Music

[nailit]

Im not an overly emotional person but seeing the kids in this video along with a 'stripped down'
80's rock song moistened my eyes. What were once fun and rebellious lyrics take on a different meaning.

Ah :-(. This is one that got to me many years ago. Never forgot it....

That's really powerful. It's the only Twisted Sister song I'm familiar with. I was surprised at the raw power Snyder still has in his voice.

I just didn't see the point of that.....some old man shouting in a sort of musical way about children's cancer.
Did absolutely NOTHING for me.
Please someone interpret what messaged it presented.

It is to all intents and purposes an advert directing you to a charity,similar to the ones we get on our TV screens.

//Directed by musician and illusionist Criss Angel in a desert outside Las Vegas, the promo was produced to help raise awareness of Angel's new cancer charity, HELP (Heal Every Life Possible). It was founded in honor of his two-year-old son, who is in remission from leukaemia. If you would like to donate, you can follow this link:

It was a charity single from a few years ago for a charity called HELP, who deal with childhood disease. You don't have to find an interpretation in the song itself, although the title We're Not Gonna Take It, is clearly a rallying call.

I watched it for 2 minutes .

[Sqad]

Thanks mamya.??..?...?.....still can't see what all the fuss is about.

[Mozz71]

That's twice today I've been beaten to the punch by someone saying the same thing on AB! :-D

[Mamyalynne]

Fuss?

[Sqad]

Yes...FUSS.
Weeping, wailing,outbursts of emotion......but it was CB.

[Mamyalynne]

You have lost me altogether now - I see no reference to weeping or wailing.

Nailit mentioned it 'moistened his eyes' and why not? The plight of ill children moves me too but never in a sobbing outburst.

I think you are reading what you think we have said.

[Sqad]

Probably.mamya...probably.

[ummmm]

Mamy....Sqad hasn't got time for his own children so why would care about others?

[Mozz71]

Sqad, if this thread is your idea of "Weeping, wailing,outbursts of emotion" you must be Mr Spock or someone similar.

[nailit]

Christ Almighty, if someone cant find the plight of toddlers with cancer moving, then at the very least just dont comment. Jeez!
But as Sqad rightly pointed out, this is CB. Just couldnt find the kids with cancer section...
Anyway, have to agree with Mozz, Snider still has his voice...
