I think it’s time for a post that has absolutely nothing to do with anything, because, you know, why not?  While looking over the top 40 music videos of 2008 (according, at least, to one source that is waaaaay cooler than all of us), I was reminded that earlier this year, rapper Jay-Z covered Oasis‘ “Wonderwall” live in concert.  And, I’m not going to lie.  Anyone who tells you that 1) “Wonderwall” is not awesome, or 2) Jay-Z is not awesome, is lying.  So I figured that this is as good a time as any to share the awesomeness with you.

Yes, I know this really isn’t new, or news, but man I can’t get enough of it.  Also, I can totally tie this in with social action.  Ready?  Here goes: a few years back, Jay-Z worked with MTV to raise awareness for the water crisis in Africa, making a documentary about the lack of clean water in Africa.  From the numbers I’m pulling off the top of my head, the lack of clean water is the number one killer in Africa - it leads to things like dysentery and pneumonia.  It kills more than HIV/AIDS, more than war, more than anything else.  So takepart and help bring clean water to Africa.  It’s cheap, and it saves lives.
