Okay, Carlos, we get that you’re a man of the people. It’s just that your version of philanthropy is getting gratingly annoying, and you’re looking a little too much like the corporate whores you railed against in the 60s. Remember Woodstock and that whole Love Devotion Surrender thing with John McLaughlin? Now it’s freakin’ Steven Tyler and that meathead Kirk Hammett who’ll bring home another Grammy for you. I thought Rob Thomas was a low point. Even Mary J. Blige and Big Boi sound totally MOR on My Man. Sean Paul and Joss Stone get closest to anything resembling soul, but those are fleeting moments in a set mired in mediocrity.
