JAY-Z AND BONO TO MAKE CHARITY SINGLE FOR HAITI
on January 20th, 2010 at 3:14 pmEvery little bit counts but I would like to pass on whatever the baby Jay-Z and Bono have will sound like.
We can blame Swizz Beats for getting the unlikely duo together.
It is the thought that counts and whatever they raise will be helpful so thanks.
“Last night we wrote a song. Bono got a call from a producer, Swizz. He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So, Bono came up with the phrase on the phone, and last night we were here, we wrote a song – finished, recorded and send (sic) back to them. So, that might be the next thing you hear from us!†~U2 guitarist Edge wrote on his site, quote via ecorazzi.com
“Rihanna is releasing her cover of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” on iTunes, with the proceeds earmarked for Haitian relief efforts by the Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health. The track, which she first performed on Oprah on Jan. 20, can also be purchased at Oprah.com and at Rihannanow.com.” ~gather.com
I’ll be passing on that one too, sorry.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey the tragedy stricken nation was hit by another aftershock. This one was a preliminary 6.0 magnitude aftershock which hit at 6:03 a.m. Wednesday about 35 miles northwest of the capital.
This tremor occurred only 8 days after the 7.0 earthquake demolished buildings in and around Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. There are as many as 200,000 estimated deaths and chaos and grief throughout the country.
On Jan. 22. several major broadcast networks and cable channels will air MTV Networks’ “Hope for Haiti,” an all-star telethon for Haitian earthquake relief. Celebs set to make appearances are Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, George Clooney, Christina Aguilera and Sting among others.
Fans may get the opportunity to hear the Jay-Z and Bono song on the “Hope for Haiti” broadcast as the two will be in London performing for the show.
