March 10 - I'm not a rock star but I play one on the internets
Big thanks to Preston Long who is working with Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchmen) to provide supplemental video material for the Axis of Justice tour which begins in Seattle on 3/24 and features Slash, System of a Down’s Serj Tankian, Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Steve Earle, Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd, Mudhoney’s Mark Arm, The Coup’s Boots Riley, The MC5’s Wayne Kramer, Shooter Jennings and more. In other words, a bunch of big rock stars.
This video, or a more polished version of it will be featured in conjunction with the Axis of Justice tour which Morello describes:
p.s. - the idea that Kim Thayil of Soundgarden could theoretically be watching this video totally trips me out. I used to love watching him when I was like 15. Seriously. And Mudhoney? I'm no rock historian but as I think back to like 1992 a very clear mathematical formula emerges: No Mudhoney = No Nirvana, No Soundgarden - in essence, No Grunge. And who would want to live in THAT world? Not me.

The model of the Justice Tour is simple,” said Morello. “Feed the Poor. Fight the Power. Rock the Fuck Out. I’m very excited to be doing this and jamming with my good friends on the various stops on the tour. I’m equally excited that these artists will be rolling up their sleeves to help alleviate hunger and homelessness in these hard times.” Morello also noted, “It is very important to me to keep ticket prices super cheap so that everyone can enjoy these very special concerts."

Was $1 million too ambitious?
We're at $4,206 raised for hunger related causes. It's a great thing.
I'm learning. I'm meeting new people. My mind is active. My spirit is strong.
Underneath all of this is the simple question "How do we get people to care?" About anything. It's what I spend the largest amount of my waking life working on.
I often think about Alex Tew. Read his FAQ here. Great idea. It worked. So we're in the realm of possibilities.
At the current rate, we will hit $1million after 14,979 days or roughly 41 years. I'll only be 72 years old then and will have plenty of time to spend my sunset years feasting on Moons Over My Hammy at Denny's.
Clearly I'd like to wrap up this chapter in life while I still have teeth for tearing into a fat juicy steak. So the question remains "How do we get people to care?" I know I'm not the only one asking this question.
Every day the mothers of 25,000 hunger casualties ask it with me.

New voting format
Since daily voting never really took off, I'm changing this up. Let's see what happens if there is just a running tab of votes and whichever organization is in the lead gets to be the recipient of all donations until they are unseated.
We'll start with the Hunger Project as the recipient since they're folks have been the most consistent. (Thanks THP people!!)
So, tell everyone you know to cast one vote. If you have multiple computers, you can post one for each I think. Go ahead - bend and break the rules all you want. It's for a good cause.
Let's see if this will inspire more competition. Other ideas? Leave a comment or email me at ryan@simplesizeme.com
