There's a "1 Italian Lover + 1 Waterbed, equals" joke in there somewhere, but my head's too foggy from cold medicine to formulate it. :o

[dissention]

Good for her. :woohoo:

Let's just hope we don't get a song out of it, though. :lol:

I think we can officially add "tsunami" to the list of words that should never be in a song, right behind "chimpanzee" and "nag champa".

I know any contribution is good and welcome, but... I expected she could give more than 25k. I have no idea how wealthy is Stevie, but being single, not a family to mantain, and after 2 consecutive tours, plus all those records.. I don't know. I guess she is very wealthy, but again, maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe it's because I read Sandra Bullock gave a million. Ok, I'm not saying Stevie should give a million, that's a looot of money. But, I still think 25k is not big deal.

The fact she gave 25k is a big deal. She didn't have to give anything, but she did. :)

[Enchanted_Stevi]

That just makes me love Stevie even more... :blob1: :blob2:

[Johnny Stew]

It's also possible that she had already made another donation to aid the Tsunami victims, outside of this phone-in donation to the Canadian Red Cross.

But, even if she hasn't, a quarter of a million dollars isn't anything to sneeze at! :)

[amber]

yeah, i was actually suprised she gave that much. That's like, my years salary. Go, Stevie!

[GateandGarden]

Hon, a quarter of a million is $250,000...put the medicine down, step away from the medication.

That's very kind of her. :thumbsup:
I wonder how she heard about it in Hawaii. :confused:

[Johnny Stew]

Guys seem to find my tendency to blush quite charming. :p ;)

'Sides, I always get embarrassed when I botch simple math problems... definitely not my strong suit! :distress:

Ha. No one's face is more honest than mine, much to my chagrin. I think they're shocked by the abrupt, inexplicable change of mood/personality... :rolleyes: whatever, my face always confuses people...they always think i'm thinking something i'm not thinking, or mean something i didn't mean. :mad: :rolleyes:

[Violet]

Very cool that she donated, no matter what amount. WTG, Stevie! :thumbsup:

[Hawkeye]

Good for her. :woohoo:

Let's just hope we don't get a song out of it, though. :lol:

I personally thought she made an AMAZING song for 9/11. It was an adventourous song that was a nice tribute but wasn't made to capitolize on the tragedy. And I wouldn't mind Stevie writing a Tsunami song at all. Hell, we know she has experience singing about oceans and Storms.

[Hawkeye]

AND what the hell is with Stevie and Hawai :confused: She's there every other week. I have a feeling she'll live there some day down the road.

[Chain of Chains]

Rock on Stevie :thumbsup:

Illume is a great song. She sure does love the sea.

Straight Back to The Sea. She wants to live by the ocean, and no one is pleased, you understand that :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

[77Rumours77]

O man!
Thats so damn cool!
I love you Steive!

[tynan88]

Good on Stevie, Manic Street Preachers have a song called "Tsunami" good song too! I think she could do a good one, Illume was good and she could never do another Desert Angel, she is in a better frame of mind nowadays.

Tynan

[shackin'up]

I'm not that impressed. I feel that it's everyone's duty to pass some doe. It's not that much for her. And if she makes 2,5 million dollars a year (does she?) then it's one percent of a years salary. Well...not to brag about charity, but I did that too. So I think it's very good of her, but all in a reasonable human duty-perspective.

Nothing to blow up bigger than it is. I wouldn't love her more for it. besides. Is that possible?

[Kelly]

Isn't it possible that STevie gave money to several different charities? This is ONE donation we know about to the Canadian Red Cross. I know Sheryl Crow is involved with some concert thingie to raise money..maybe Stevie will participate in that. She has always been a giving, caring soul and I imagine this tragedy has impacted her greatly , as it has us all.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

lololol. "well, the ocean is my hooooooome....candle burning....devastation in southeast...AAAAAAAAAASSSIIAAA! Can you hear the waves...like a memory...OPERATION! TSUNAMIIIIIII!!"

LOL Thanks for waking me up Amber...that's the funniest thing I've heard in awhile...I CAN ACTUALLY picture her in my head singing that...lol

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

We don't know how much Stevie has given, likely most of her contributions aren't public...like her contributions to other charities...this was a single event to the Canadian Red Cross, likely not her only donation--AND if it was ...I for one do not think it's EVERYONE'S responsibility to give...but if we choose to do so that's great, certainly not our responsibility.
President Bush only gave $10,000 so atleast she gave more than him--lol..

Sandra Bullock chose to make her donation public, likely to encourage more celebs to donate...but MOST celebs keep the donation amounts private..and yes she CERTAINLY has enough money to give much more than that...Forbes had F-Mac as one of the highest paid bands of 03 with over $45 in earnings in 2003, certainly Stevie made a nice chunk of that..


Oh and on the Hawaii subject...I dont know if he knew what he was talking about...but in an interview Taku gave he said "Stevie and Mick both have houses there (Hawaii)"

Chris

[strandinthewind]

. . . President Bush only gave $10,000 so atleast she gave more than him--lol . . . .

I was waiting for the comparison :laugh:

But, I agree, this is not a pissing contest :cool: and we really have no clue how much money anyone gives - It is possible they both gave loads more to other charities and we do not know about it :shrug: It is possible richer people gave millions and are not saying :shrug:

In any event, I am just glad people are donating - that to me is the real point :cool:

[shackin'up]

In any event, I am just glad people are donating - that to me is the real point :cool:

I totally agree, Strand....I meant that we tend to overreact on something that I take as a normal thing.

[strandinthewind]

I totally agree, Strand....I meant that we tend to overreact on something that I take as a normal thing.

Oh I agree totally - and if all nations and people in general would show this much compassion much less money in a daily basis there would be no world hunger and medical care for all :cool:

[Bryan]

Manic Street Preachers have a song called "Tsunami" good song too!


Not just a good song Tynan,it's an amazing song! I caught them live again a few weeks ago..fu**ing awesome live band!!

:nod: Ya, she may have given $25,000 to 25 different charities, who knows :shrug:

[strandinthewind]

:nod: Ya, she may have given $25,000 to 25 different charities, who knows :shrug:

Plus, she may have given much more to other charities - certainly she gave to the AZI and she has given then probably over a million already with all the benefits and the rights they own to Beautiful Child, when she sang on the last tour and it was on the DVD.

As an aside, I still maintain that this horrible tragedy came at the worst possible time because people are paying for Christmas. YEt, the world seems to have somehow found the money - which is GREAT news :nod:

[Hawkeye]

I just heard on the radio, that just to outdo Stevie, Lindsey has now given 35,000 dollars all thw while dog pawing his guitar as he ran to the give the money :laugh:

PLEASE know that I'm not trying to make light of the tragedy of the Tsunami. I'm trying to make light of Stevie's writing :laugh:

[Highway Woman]

I think it's great that Stevie gives to causes like this. And then I read some people criticizing Stevie for giving because they think it's not enough. It's a lot better than what most self-absorbed stars give - nada. Some people can't give Stevie credit for anything. It's never good enough for them, no matter what she does.

[David]

AND what the hell is with Stevie and Hawai :confused: She's there every other week. I have a feeling she'll live there some day down the road.
I hope she takes care of herself & keeps informed of the active seismology of whatever area she hangs out in.

Aside from the ever-present danger of remotely generated tsunamis hitting the shores of Hilo & elsewhere (usually from quakes in the Aleutians, Japan or off the west coast of South America), there is the danger -- which scientists are just now beginning to understand -- of locally generated tsunamis from volcanic flanks & submarine slumps.

We've got evidence of huge landslides affecting the Hawaiian Islands. Gerard Fryer & several of his associates at the University of Hawaii are studying them. Fryer thinks they seem to occur during every interglacial (there was one 110,000 years ago & another 80,000 years ago).

They're modeling the slide known as Alika 2, & are finding that tsunamis generated by the slide ran up to 800 feet on Oahu. (Oahu got hit hard because it was only 170 miles from the source. Honolulu is about the same distance; it would be wiped out in such an event in the future.) Deposits of coral & pulverized shells at high elevations in the Hawaiian Islands indicate humongous tsunamis in past geologic time. There is a 110,000-year-old reef off Kohala Volcano (on the big island) which is now at a depth of 1,400 feet -- but the wave deposit spread from the shoreline up to 200 feet above sea level, which means the tsunami from the Alika 2 slide would have run up 1,600 feet above sea level.

There has been no giant Hawaiian landslide so far during this interglacial. You can read the group's press release at:

When I see land again
will it be over?

when I see the silver beaches
will it be a ghost from the wind through the fog

when i see the seven wonders
will i stand back and say

sara!!!! Sara!!!! the room is on fire
and i stand at the top of the stairs as the water runs to you!

[bikerchic]

Just to let you know, that here in Toronto on the radio station Chum FM with Marilyn Dennis, that she periodically mentions Stevie's donation.....but, get this, she mentions it after she plays "Landslide" by the Ditzie Chicks, how lame is that?
