In these times of
quickening global crisis, creative artists are showing frustration, anger,
and rebellion, and an intense desire for higher values. Some are seeing
light at the end of Apocalypse; others don't.
In the pending year, humankind will remain racked with the legitimate
fears of terrorism, economic ruin, environmental disasters, mind-boggling
corruption, raging conflicts in several countries, ongoing genocides, and
with a volatile presidential election booming at us all year long.
As we face a new year, L&L urges your prayers for the human family, your
empathy for others, and your active service to implant higher ideals in
this critical time of tumultuous changes.
Here, we wanted you to explore with us, and learn lessons from the
creative works that express the rages of the time.

corruptions and hypocrisies of our day. Her Ozarks, Arkansas message
rings across the globe via Youtube.
A powerful plea for reason in a world gone crazy for guns, even for kids.
Tracy Chapman's timeless video rang true then, rings even truer today as
the
world continues to ignore the soulless arms trade that foments child
soldiers
in Africa and kids trying to shoot their way out of their miserable lives.
Peter Gabriel & Tracy Chapman sing for a brighter world in a remarkable
live performance that seems to meld them together in love and encourages
us to carry on.
