i just heard "voices that care" for the first time and jesus christ i don't think i'll ever even joke about "we are the world" being a bad song again.

Haha -- I had an argument with a former Stylus colleague who insists that "Sun City" is better than WATW; he was beguiled by Arthur Baker and Hipster Quotient (nice moniker, that).

You know, the most obvious defence for this song is that it helped save the lives of a lot of starving people in Ethiopia, which is - well.... - not the worst thing a song can do, really...
Besides, it isn't all that bad as a song either - even though the lyrics are indefensible forever and ever.

Ugh. Absolutely without merit. Typically American. We lift the idea from Band And, and then blow it way out of proportion ("the day rock cried" my ass). Plus, it's a horrible, overwrought, lyrically meaningless piece of shit song. Fuck everyone involved.
It was true then and it's still true today.

"Shock the Monkey" positively defecates in its own paw and lobs it derisively at not only this Billy Joel track, but at BILLY JOEL'S ENTIRE CATALOG!
Siouxsie's cover of "This Town Ain't Big Enough" discreetly defecates on the original from a lofty, height like a divine brown deluge.

jesus christ. at the very least, the message of WATW (standard hippie zen "we should all love one another") is a better one than the barely camouflaged pro-war bullshit of "voices that care."

i actually think "voices that care" may make me angrier than any other record in the world. watching that video certainly does.

actually his name is Warren Wiebe
Warren Wiebe (July 18, 1953 – October 25, 1998) was an American vocalist and session artist from San Diego. After playing bass with several bands, he was discovered by David Foster and Burt Bacharach in Los Angeles in 1987. He did the duet "Listen to Me" with Celine Dion for the movie of the same name. It was never officially released.
He was one of several lead vocalists who contributed to the 1991 charity record "Voices That Care".
He is also famous for performing the song "Human Touch", a ballad which was used as one of the ending theme songs for the 1996 anime After War Gundam X. The song is one of a very small number of anime theme songs that not only was performed with English lyrics but was composed by non-Japanese songwriters. An avid ice hockey fan, he was also known for his stirring performances of the national anthems prior to Los Angeles Kings games. He did many demos with David Foster including "When I Fall in Love" for the film Sleepless in Seattle and when Celine heard his singing she wanted him instead of Clive Griffin to sing on the track. In addition he sang on the All-4-One hit "I Swear" and did backing vocals for many artists. Referred to by Quincy Jones as the "Soulful Rain Man" he battled mental health issues and took his own life on October 25, 1998. Several of his early work has been released posthumously but there has not to date been an album of his work entirely.
