Before going into intermission, the singer wanted to take a poll of the audience. He told everyone who had been standing to take a seat and to only stand up if they answered “yes” to his next question.
“Do you feel that we have a gun problem in America?” he asked. The whole house stood.
“You’re able to fix the problem. If we are able to send rockets to the moon I would hope that we would have someone in the government to hold people accountable for the guns they have. I hope someone with a spirit who wants to see more people living than dying will do this because the only people making money are the gun factories and the mortuaries. I don’t care if you agree with me. I love you anyway.”

Well I definitely think we have a big problem in our inner cities, where gun control laws are at their strictest. Even though guns are "banned", inner city kids are shooting each other up like it was the Wild West.
Meanwhile, in the rural areas, where gun ownership is legal and widespread - not so much. Crime rates are low and people are very polite to each other.
So yes little Stevie Wonder, we do have a gun problem. Just not the kind of problem you think we have.
Celebrities - Is there anything they don’t know?
No, we don’t have a gun problem, we have a liberal problem.
The problem is the liberals who want to confiscate every privately owned gun, so that only government agencies will have guns.
I bet they are armed to protect the “special” liberals. Us commoners can fed for ourselves with a stapler or pencil to throw at any attackers with guns.

The blind leading the dumb.

It is a perfect conclusion based on their Humanist worldview.
Those who seek power in government are inherently trustworthy and the masses are inherently morally inferior.
Given these assumptions, it’s a natural conclusion that only the moral (government agents) should be in possession of firearms.
I got mad, I was hanging out with Stevie two months ago. I said, ‘Look, Steve, I get too much flak over this impression. I don’t like doin’ it, I ain’t doin’ this no more.’
Stevie said, ‘Well, I feel that...’ I said, ‘Shut the .... up, Steve.’ ‘
Cause you’ve gotta cut Steve off, ‘cause if he get a roll goin’ he’ll talk your ears off! You ever see Steve win a Grammy and go up and give one of them long ass acceptance speeches? They say, ‘And the winner is Stevie Wonder!’ Stevie be goin, ‘I’d just like to say...all the people in the world today...God’s children...’ ‘Look, just take the award and go!’
‘Cause the credits be rollin’ and Stevie be up there goin’ ‘And I’d like to thank...’
I be in the car, I just said ‘Shut the ..... up, Steve. I’m tellin’ you, you a genius and all that, but you my boy, man, we hangin’, man. It’s nice and ...., but I don’t appreciate all the flak. And personally, the piano and the singin’ and all that, I told you how I feel about singin’ man, I ain’t impressed. You wanna impress me, take the wheel for a while, m............!’

The best of it would make one hell of a single album though. But yeah I could do without songs like ‘Black Man’.
“Have you ever seen his wife?”
He’s on wife #5 with a new kid #8.
He’s upset because all those crazy white people on the southside of Chicago are shooting each other and innocent bystanders.
At least that is what someone told him.
He going to Louisiana to do a benefit for Landreau. Wonder how is anti gun b.s. will play in Louisiana?
According to who, Stevie?
He’s protected by people with guns.
>>>I don’t care if you agree with me. I love you anyway<<<
I don’t believe that Stevie really loves me. That hurts. LOL
How does he know everyone stoop.
He should’ve said buss a cap in the air if you love gun control.
Dfwgator is right about the lyrics. “Village Ghetto Land” comes to mind, and some other song whose name I forget sounds like Sesame Street during African-American History Month, when half of the lyrics are something along the lines of “George Washington Carver was a black man”.
That said, “Sir Duke” and “Isn’t She Lovely” were both fun singles, even if the new daughter in “Isn’t she lovely?” gets a Muslim name.
Like most double-record sets, “Songs in the Key of Life” is spread thin, with a lot of filler.
