I realize that some will argue that this week’s edition of Inspirational Song of the Week isn’t inspirational. To me, inspiration isn’t always about gung-ho excitement, I believe that we can be inspired to think, to reflect, and to care for those around us. This song and video hinges on the simple reminders that everyone…

We Are the World – USA for Africa

S. Russ
With MTV celebrating its 30th birthday this week, I thought it appropriate to feature a song and video that wouldn’t have existed without them. “We are the World” is perhaps the biggest and boldest musical collaboration of our time.
