Josh Groban performed with Herbie Hancock on a duet of Paul Simon’s ‘America’ during a rally for Feeding America at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library in Washington DC last Monday. Martin Luther King III, Ben Affleck and David Arquette were just some of the celebrities who were present to support the cause. The 27-year old Josh also opened the ‘We Are One’ concert with a stirring rendition of ‘My Country Tis of Thee’. I hope that the camaraderie that was shown during the events of the past week don’t just stop there. There’s much more that can be done with a united front.

Toby Keith is currently promoting his new movie ‘Beer for My Horses’ when he was asked about his position in the upcoming elections. The country artist responded with “There’s a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up. So I thought it was beautiful the other day when Obama went to Afghanistan and got educated about Afghanistan and Iraq. He came back and said some really nice things. So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it’s really important that those things have to take place. And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton. And that’s coming from a Democrat.”
