Old joke and this is a Stevie Wonder love thread, so it fits right in.

Tired Of FReepathons That Last Longer Than A Month?
We Are Too

Donate and End It In April

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Stand corrected.
It was 47 or 48 years ago...

[Boogieman]

“He would be totally ineffectual on the Streets of Chicago”

Well, not entirely, because they’d show him some respect just as a matter of course. His free concert in Grant Park was about the only concert I can remember in Grant Park where there wasn’t a gang shooting, and not because the gang bangers stayed home.

Kim, on the other hand, isn’t going to extend him that kind of respect, I think.

[Blue Highway]

He will go to NK and sing him “Part Time Lovers”

[GOPJ]

Free concerts in Grant Park are good... and I'm sure the folks attending didn't kill anyone while they were attending... but I doubt Stevie Wonder's generosity had much of a long term effect. Incentives for gangs runs deeper...

[Boogieman]

Sure, I don’t doubt they went right back to their usual behavior once the show was over. Still, the savages at least showed a little respect for the man while he was there, which is more than they show for most.

[GOPJ]

Many many years ago a Blackstone Ranger ( an old Chicago gang from the 60's) walked me and my 5 year old niece out of an area where a gang battle/war was going to be taking place. I assured him we would leave and we were fine - but he walked us out anyhow. No one's bad 24/7. That said a few months later the same group killed a 15 year old girl who lived on my block in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood... Gangs are complex.

Maybe too complex and varied for Stevie Wonder's magic - even if they respect him. But Wonder's magic might work with the guy running North Korea... It just seems a fit to me - seems I'm alone on this one...

[AmericanInTokyo]

moron. blind in more ways than one

[dennisw]

Obama should assemble a cadre of distinguished black athletes and entertainers who are willing to fly to Iran, North Korea and other hellholes to make peace

Danny Glover and JayZee are available I hear. And Roberta Flack will come out of retirement. Ben Vereen is ready to roll

[dennisw]

Me too. I think Stevie Wonder and Kim Jun Un are a natural fit. We should send other Hollywood stars there too on one way tickets. The NK leaders seem to be hung up on Hollywood.

When (idiot) Madeline Albright went to NK all that Kim Jung Il would talk about was Hollywood movies

[JoeProBono]

[GOPJ]

When (idiot) Madeline Albright went to NK all that Kim Jung Il would talk about was Hollywood movies...

Yep, words like infantile and shallow come to mind...childlike... narcissistic...
