I think as a nation we have to start listening to what crack addicts have to say. Seriously. It only makes sense. Take our newest pop star, Amy Winehouse. Obviously the woman loves crack, just search You Tube for her video smoking a crack pipe. So, what's my point? We listen to crack addicts so long as they sing. In fact, we love listening to them. Whitney had quite an audience too. Why? Why are we so quick to dismiss all those crack addicts we pass on the streets. You know you do. You pass by them and if they so much as ask you for a nickel, you just look away-I do too. But, what if we actually listened to these very sensitive folks who obviously have to do drugs to deal with all the stimulus they are receiving? They have our attention so long as it is rhythm and beat, and for this we give them grammy awards, lots of them. So, next time you pass someone who is hyped up on crack and doing the infamous crack walk-try to slow them down and see what they have to say.
