I got this pic from here Props to 'le liz' for noting me to this.
Last night, I learned how to play Woody Guthrie's "Jesus Christ for President" on guitar. Today, I learned that Wyclef Jean (of Fugees fame) will be running for president of Haiti. Joking? nuh-uh
Naturally, I instantly morphed back to days of sharing walkman ear buds and ciggies outside my high school, listening to "the fugee-la."
I don't really feel much like commenting in general, so let's just bring it back to 'Clef, at the peak of his (and all Fugee members') game, in 1996, and just 'enjoy'.
"For me to get a chance, grab my pen and revamp
Do a cameo while everybody do the dance.
Quick now, cause you runnin' out of lucka
Playin' Mr. Big, I'm gonna get you sucka.
While you munchin at your luncheon, I'll be planning your assassination
Then hit you like the Dutchmen"

been following this is as well. he's always seemed committed to Haiti. but running a country is some type work. hope it's not bad idea.
I also hope its not a bad idea. In general, I am pretty allergic to people with no political experience thinking that because there stardom has been, well, stardom, that it should necessarily translate to the ability to actually help people, or the place they live.
Granted, he's done good shit recently. But its limited. Plus, its Wyclef...
Vamos a ver.
Cause the whole world's out of order
So at night the fiend's dance on Grease with John Travolta
One got slaughtered as he coughed blood from his mouth

Brother brother can't you get this through your head
It's a set up by the fed's they're scoping us with their Infra-reds.
In my opinion the biggest problem with developing countries regarding their politics is corruption... I am assuming that Wyclef isn't doing this to make himself rich or powerful because he has already achieved those things in a varying degree.
If he is in it for the right reasons I believe he would make an excellent reasons. Seems to me like he is in it for the right reasons and if he is willing to take the risk of leading such an unstable country he must really love his homeland.
