Exclusive: The Killers Making The Video

Saturday, September 30, 2006 9/30/2006 01:19:00 AM

I remember turning to my friend with a quizzical look on my face when I first heard the lyrics to, "Somebody Told Me":

"Is he singing about what I think he's singing about?"

Yes, indeed and the catchy songwriting (along with the darling Brandon Flowers) has stayed with me since and made a fan out of me.

Clever, memorable lyrics, a New Wave sound with a synthesizer overlay, and (if you're lucky enough to see them in concert) an involving, magnetic stage presence make The Killers hot. Their Sophomore album titled, "Sam's Town" will be released October 3, 2006, but if you want a taste of "Sam's" beforehand, tune into the making of The Killers' new music video, "When You Were Young", exclusively here on Google Video.

Highlight: United Nations Millennium Campaign

A little more about myself (as if my Backstreet Boys declaration wasn't enough, right?):

I graduated high school in the year 2000 which made my friends and I one of the first classes of the new millennium. It sounds cool enough, but really, what does it mean?

I found the answer today and I thought I'd share it with you. According to the United Nations Millennium Campaign, we're the first generation that can eradicate poverty. I just have to say it again because I didn't think those two words would ever be in the same sentence: eradicate poverty. Can you imagine?

According to millenniumcampaign.org, "In 2000, world leaders from rich and poor countries alike committed themselves--at the highest political level--to significantly reduce poverty, illiteracy, inequality and disease in poor countries and help achieve the Millennium Development Goals." What the Campaign is asking you to do is to remind our leaders of the commitment they made and to make them keep their promise about ending hunger, reducing child mortality, and promoting gender equality. So join the Campaign and accept No Excuses.
