Think back to the time before limitations, before you were told, "you can't do that." Paul Vieira has this theory that each child instinctively knows their own future. "For me, it was being a rock star. My mom has this photo of me at 2 years old, still in diapers, posing with an electric guitar and a cigarette hanging from my mouth."
Paul taught himself guitar, piano and wrote his first songs as a young teenaged boy. Ever since then, he says there's been a band playing in his head. In high school, hundreds came to watch his shows. Then something terrible happened. He gave his heart away.
"Like an honest idiot, I followed the dangling carrot of religion. Somebody pressed the mute button and the music stopped." The music train was derailed until years later when Paul finally saw the light out from the other side of the stained-glass window. Now Paul has left the building and he's standing back in the cue to music stardom. "Man, this line is long! I’ve got to figure out another way in through the back door."
Bonjour paul Thanks for the friendly add really appreciate your music and good sound Best wishes from France (Follow me on twitter.com/pascal95 ) Pascal
Really enjoy your solo stuff, Paul. And I heard some of your early demos with Brian, and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I'm very much looking forward to hearing more.
Dear Make Poverty History supporter, The point is that Canada needs to give more in foreign aid. Canada has promised in the past to increase our foreign aid to point seven per cent of our national income, a level agreed upon by donor nations and the UN as necessary to make serious progress towards alleviating extreme poverty in the world. With a growing world food crisis, no one has time for more weak promises. Canada needs to commit to giving 0.7% of our income in foreign aid now.
You can help. Foreign aid will be on the agenda at the G8 summit next month in Japan, and we need you to join other Canadians in demanding action from our government. Send a message to the Prime Minister and your local Member of Parliament to demand that we get to the point. There’s not a lot of time before the rich countries meet at the G8 in Japan early next month. We need 50,000 Canadians to send this message before then – if we can show our government that Canadians are serious about making poverty history, they will need to respond. We are not looking for more promises that won’t be kept, but a strong, public commitment to a timeline and a plan to keep our point seven percent promise.
And the poorer nations of the world need us to keep that promise. The world food crisis and the effects of climate change are disproportionately affecting poorer nations at a time when richer nations are giving less in aid. We need your voice to be heard, send a message now.
ENJOY UR HOLIDAY WEEKEND
