Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, Trombone Shorty, actor Tim Robbins, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, have recorded a benefit single and video called "It Ain't My Fault", that will be sold to help the efforts in aiding the oil spill in the gulf. Proceeds (audio and video downloads are 99 cents) will go to the Gulf Relief Foundation (gulfaid.org), which will direct the aid to families in need and to wetlands preservation. The lyrics of the song were written in response to watching oil executives blame each other for the spill during congressional hearings.
I picked this article because I thought it was awesome that celebrities are getting creative and finding ways to use their talents to support efforts to clean up the gulf. There is so much to still be done to clean up the gulf, and it is important to continue to give support and donations to the gulf efforts.
