Where You at Springsteen? (UPDATED)

More than 3,000 white farmers have been murdered in South Africa since 1994.

Read about it at Sweetness and Light.

Remember this collection of douchebags from the 80s?



Here's a partial list of the assorted morons in that video:

Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr, Lou Reed, Run DMC, Peter Gabriel, Jackson Browne and then-girlfriend Darryl Hannah, U2, Bonnie Raitt, Hall & Oates, Pat Benatar, Steven Van Zandt and Joey Ramone.

So stoic.  So righteously indignant.  Where are they now?  How many songs have they sung for these people?


Why did they stop singing? Why?

UPDATE:  Hey Bruce!  Do you sing for these victims?
A new survey says more than one in three South African men admit to having committed rape.
A 2010 study led by the government-funded Medical Research Foundation says that in Gauteng province, home to South Africa's most populous city of Johannesburg, more than 37 percent of men said they had raped a woman. Nearly 7 percent of the 487 men surveyed said they had participated in a gang rape.


More than 51 percent of the 511 women interviewed said they'd experienced violence from men, and 78 percent of men said they'd committed violence against women.
Sing you jerry-curl wearing douchebag.  Sing!
