J, I agree with your use of the word "moving" with regard to Pink's performance here. I wasn't aware that Pink had a new album and I certainly hadn't heard this song/performance until now. I've kinda always liked Pink for being an entertainer, but I never really got the rock-activist vibe from her until now. I want to know a bit more about her, and what she's done in her life, besides Lady Marmalade, where she's from, etc. I feel like these would help me to put her lyrics "Let me tell you about hard work" into perspective.
I was really impressed by this. I think what made it moving for me was how it captured the move from anger to sadness that a lot of people are feeling right now in regards to Bush, the war, etc. People are tired of being outraged and don't have the energy to protest. Now some of us are just disappointed, disillusioned, and confused. Pink makes it seem like there could be a reasonable dialogue with W. but the fact that this isn't happening seems to be the most confusing part of it all.
I like-a the Pink. I am extremely fond of her song and video for "Stupid Girls". I think AC and LB covered the praise for the lyrics and emotion part; I will add that her voice sounds pretty awesome in this 'unplugged' performance.
