For those of you who still read, here’s the text of the poem:

Rebirth of a Nation
by David McMillan

America
Imperfect nation
Impatient nation
Always in a hurry to get from here to there
Even though you’re going nowhere
You haven’t been before

America
Resourceful nation
Rhythm nation
Always managing to keep up with the times
Whether by way of crimes and misdemeanors
Or through nobler means

America
Birth of a Nation
Rebirth of a nation
Each generation
Redefining
Realigning
Recombining
So that my country ’tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Actually includes you and me

America
It sure ain’t what it used to be

But just what is America?

A melting pot
A Promised Land of slot machines and broken dreams
Where nothing is quite what it seems
Except on MTV
Where Elvis is king, and Martin Luther King
Is just another day off in January
Where distraction is the natural reaction
To dissatisfaction
Where Michael Jackson
Even in death can’t be left alone
Where the quest for an app or a ring tone
For your fancy new cell phone
Is where we invest
The energy
We used to invest
In being free
Because we’ve confused
Being free
With buying stuff
But no matter what we buy, it ain’t never enough
To make us truly happy and truly free

America
It sure ain’t what it used to be

But perhaps we can take a lesson from history

Abraham Lincoln once said:
“A house divided cannot stand”

The history of black folks in this land
Is the history of moving from house to house
From the slave house
To the big house
To the crack house
To the White House
And yes, perhaps even a detour to Big Mama’s House
Because even downtrodden people need to laugh

The history of black folks in America
Is the history of freedom in America
It’s the history of moving from house to house
So that we could find a home

America
Imperfect nation
And yet, just the same, it’s still my nation
It may not be the Promised Land
But it’s the land I call home
Divided
Multi-sided
Irrevocably united
By fate and chance and history
A land
Now led by a man
Who’s neither hero nor saint
But who’s at least put a fresh coat of paint
On that tattered old house called Liberty

America
It sure ain’t what it used to be
And Lord, thank God it ain’t

Aloha from Hawaii is a music concert that was headlined by Elvis Presley, and broadcast live via satellite around the world on January 14, 1973. It was watched by over one billion viewers worldwide and remains the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history.The concert took place at the International Convention Center Arena in Honolulu (now known as the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena) and aired in over 40 countries across Asia and Europe (who received the telecast the next day, also in primetime). Despite the satellite innovation, the United States did not air the concert until April 4, 1973 (the concert took place the same day as Super Bowl VII). The show was the most expensive entertainment special at the time, costing $2.5 million.
As the event was the first-ever such performance to be broadcast live via satellite, Presley taped a January 12 rehearsal concert as a fail-safe in case anything went wrong with the satellite, during the actual broadcast – however, nothing went wrong during the January 14th broadcast. For both shows, Presley was dressed in a white “American Eagle” jumpsuit designed by Bill Belew.
Audience tickets for the January 14 concert and its January 12 pre-broadcast rehearsal show carried no price. Each audience member was asked to pay whatever he or she could afford. The performance and concert merchandise sales raised $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii. (Kui Lee was a Hawaiian composer who had died of cancer in 1966 while still in his thirties.)
Elvis performed a vast array of old and recent hits like “Steamroller Blues”, “See See Rider”, “Early Morning Rain”, “Burning Love”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “A Big Hunk o’ Love”, “Suspicious Minds”, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” He showed his vocal range and strength with ballads like the Beatles’ “Something”, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, “It’s Over”, “Welcome to my World”, “I’ll Remember You” and especially during “What Now My Love”. The show is probably most remembered for his performance of the “An American Trilogy”. After the concert had finished and the audience had left, Presley recorded five songs on stage to be aired during the American airing of the show.

Michael Jackson & The Jacksons

Victory Tour – Live In Kansas

Heartbreak Hotel (This place hotel)

Color corrected – sound improved

rare HD by DJ_OXyGeNe_8

Thanks to Tino MJ

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Tour_%28The_Jacksons_tour%29

The Victory Tour was the biggest and final concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1984 by The Jacksons. Beginning July 6 and ending on December 9, the tour included 55 concerts to an audience of approximately 2 million. It was named after the newly released Jacksons’ album Victory although none of the album’s songs appear on the tour’s set list (Marlon confirmed it was because Michael refused to rehearse or perform them). The tour reportedly grossed $175 million and set a new record for the then-largest grossing tour.

Following a controversy with the way tickets were purchased, lead-singer Michael Jackson donated his proceeds (approx. $5 million) from the tour to three charities, including the T.J. Martell Foundation for Leukemia and Cancer Research, The United Negro College Fund, and the Ronald McDonald Camp for Good Times.
