Sara McLachlan - World on Fire VIDEO

  • Thread starter Thread starter
  • Start date Start date

If you haven't seen it yet, visit http://www.worldonfire.ca and watch it.

It's touching, it's sad, and it makes you think. But considering the 'cost' of the video, it likely cost well over $150,000 for McLachlan to produce, market and sell the audio CD that this song is featured in.

What about all THAT money? Where did THAT money go? What about profits from her Afterglow CD? I applaud McLachlan's efforts, but money doesn't solve the world's problems.

I dunno, I'm all for giving money to charity and everything, but I really feel that if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. If you want to save the world, don't throw money at the problem; roll up your sleeves, and get dirty.

So?
She is a musician. Making music for a world audience is her job. If that money were not spent, then the CD would not exist. The expensive video is a different, optional expense not needed to create the CD.

Should your employer fire everyone, sell all the furniture, shut down the business and give all the money in their bank account to charity?

That seems to be what you're saying she should do: Give up making commerical music and make a small, one-time gift to charity instead.
 
feel good bs....

might as well sell the pc ur typing on to "feed the hungry". it doesn'tt get at the root problem. and if u point out root problems of a culture, they'll tell u to ah heck off😛

i'll second that...she's a lot better than all these poptarts that are so popular now.
 
now jsut imagine the what the money we throw away on our military could do. i always found it really funny that more people die (and suffer) from disease and famine than any military threats by far.

Sarah is so awesome. My GF watched her on Leno a few weeks ago. Just her and her piano. It's a damn shame how badly she owns these popwhorewannabedivaskanks out there now

Thankfully most people in America havent agreed with you over the last 100 years, or we'd be typing in either German or Russian.

I think I read it in the epilogue to Black Hawk Down, but there is a phrase that I have read that has stuck with me, regarding people around the world in f***ed up places like Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, Serbia, etc... "they dont want peace, they want victory".
 
$150,000 for that crappy video on hand-held camera?
Wtf! I'd do the same job for $10k. Where do I sign up to make her next video?

Either that was sarcasm, or the entire point of that video went sailing right over your head like a 16" shell.
