Alright, You Win, I'll Free Tibet! I've been under a lot of pressure lately to do something about Tibet. First the Beastie Boys go Buddhist, then that movie with Brad Pitt comes out, and all of a sudden Tibet becomes the trendy cause of the 90s. Everyone wants me to free Tibet. I finally got the message on the way home from work the other day, when I noticed a message on the sidewalk in front of my apartment demanding that I "FREE TIBET NOW." Alright, fine. If it means you people will leave me alone, I'll free Tibet. From this day forth, I will make no infringements on Tibet's sovereignty or the civil liberties of its people. Any exiled political and religious leaders can return to their homeland with my blessing. Whenever the Dalai Lama is done hobnobbing with Hollywood celebrities, he's free to resume his role as spiritual leader of his people without any interference on my part. Now, in exchange for my benevolence, I merely ask that everyone let the whole thing drop. I've already freed Tibet, so stop asking. I don't want to see any more signs, I don't want to read any more articles, I don't need any more musicians using their fame as a soapbox. I've done my part, now leave me alone. And if you could hook me up with some Beasties tickets, that would be cool also. -Mike V. |
