Play it for me: The International Conference on Racism.
Australian Financial Review September 2001

 

Music is known as the unifying language that is common to us all, has no boundaries and in general, can be accessed and appreciated in its varying forms the world over.

It's a shame our global delegates at the international conference on racism didn't have a bit of sing song first and then a chat. Maybe even a jam - a shared experience of communication with one goal and for the common good where hierarchy exists within a structure of support, mutual respect and recognized mutual dependence. They could have brought out a new song onto the global stage much to the appreciation of a world of waiting fans.

For the next one that may be another decade away shouldn't we send InSync, Bjork, The Cuban Crisis, Puff Daddy, Elvis Costello, Ariel Sharon and George W…..Throw in Ms Minogue, Posh Spice and Nkosazana Dlamimi-Zuma for good measure
