Istanbul. Jesus. A day after 41 people are blown to bits in the airport. Does he have a death wish? Any fans who fly to that concert should get life insurance first and then advise their families to not expect any sympathy later.
You know what they say: together we stand divided we fall.
Last night Chic & Nile Rodgers were on stage in Istanbul and during the event, airport bombing just happened and when they get informed, they asked people "shall we go on?" and people replied "yes!". Jerry Barnes added then, "
Do not act in fear". This is it. We shall never surrender and we shall overcome.
It's easy to write comments here, but you know what, I live in Turkey for 25 years and sometimes I feel depressed. Lonely and exhausted. People die because of terrorist sc*ms. Other bad things happen. But we carry on. We must. Those evil people just want us to live in fear. They want to ruin our lives. So
we must live. We must fight. We must sing. Last summer I attended Joan Baez's one and only show in Istanbul and while she was singing, I feel strong. It's like someone you know personally encourages you to resist. She sang Imagine, Land of 1000 Dances and Jerusalem and we cry, we pray. That's what music is for..my friend.
At the end of the day, if some people still insists that he should not play in Istanbul..well..sing for us Moz, "world peace is none of your business".
P.S. I cannot attend his concert due to my schedule conflict but still I want him to come here and show his support.
