Where's Kanye when you need him?

I'm taping the Haiti special tonight. There are two reasons to watch fund raising specials, both exemplified by Katrina:

1. You might hit a really great musical performance, like the first time Mary J and U2 performed One together.


2. and the chance that Kanye West will be there.


(Okay, there's a third reason which is to be convinced to give money if you haven't already!)

U2's "One" never really spoke to me. I'd heard it a million times but it was always just wallpaper - until I heard Johnny Cash cover it.

I've never been much of a Johnny Cash fan, but I just found his version spoke to me and I felt the lyrics for the first time:

I looked up the chords and now play his version on uke.
