On a day when Barry Manilow is making news for refusing to appear on The View because one of the four co-hosts is a conservative, I think it’s important to note that not all celebrities and musicians are cut from the same cloth. 

John Ondrasik, the man who is Five for Fighting, is constantly looking for ways to use his talent to help make the world a better place and does so without any tendentious or childish political narrative.  At this link, John has cut a video to his song “100 Years” that movingly addresses the fight against ALS.  If you follow the link, good will be done; Glenn Tullman/Allscripts and Bert and Cyndie Silva are each donating $1 for every time the video is played.  The video, by the way, is outstanding and moving. 

Once again, please click. If you do, $2 goes to the fight against ALS.  And you’ll see a video that will really move you.
