7. Worked on mine
Make sure you have the current version of Windows Media Player installed. Maybe if you just download it to your desktop first and then open Media Player and open the file from there.

8. Do you have a Mac?
I have all the latest version of every media player installed. But sometimes WM doesn't work on Macs.

11. I do. I just watched it on my Mac Mini with OS 10.4.3 and Windows Media
Player version 9.0 and Firefox.

Sometimes I have trouble too. That's why I suggested downloading the file first and then opening it. You might also want to try using a different browser.

9. It was Bill Clinton and a young girl (Leil) singing "Imagine" with 40
Israeli children and 40 Arab children. This was at some big conference. Very sweet.

3. "The request is not valid in the current state"
WTF does that mean?

IOW, the video didn't work for me.

Edited on Sun Dec-25-05 07:29 PM by IndyOp
by holding down "option" and then clicking on the link. (And I had gotten the same bizarre error message).

I hope it works for you!

18. Brought tears to my eyes-- recommended
Comparison between Clinton and Bush -- Clinton did not try to steal the limelight, and, yet, it was so obvious how much he enjoyed singing.

Bush would have had the other mics muted.

Damn, I miss Clinton.

19. Very nice. But what kind of liberal icon...
...doesn't know the words to "Imagine?" I'm very disappointed in the Big Dog. You'd never see John Ashcroft faking his way through "Onward Christian Soldiers."


(I'm kidding! Don't flame me, I love Bill Clinton, really!!)

25. Sounded like Elvis? He was flat and slow. Just because he is a bass and
has an accent, doesn't make him Elvis!

And, it *was* the best song I've heard all day -> ;)

28. His voice is flat because the key isn't in his range.
His presence on stage was absolutely delightful, though.

I can just "imagine" what bush would have done. He would have cut up, acted silly, and pulled the young woman to him for a hug by grabbing the back of her head.

29. My thoughts exactly. this isn't his range.
Edited on Sun Dec-25-05 09:18 PM by Ilsa
the singer Liel is fabulous!

W would have acted like the ass he is, trying to steal attention away from those beautiful children and this soulful singer.

31. K&R... I mourn for what we once were...
...and what we can still be.

If Palestinian and Israeli children can put all that fucking bullshit aside and croon together as one, why can't the adults?:cry:

32. I've always said that the children are the only hope for this beleaguered
region and I was discouraged when I saw the hate passed on. But this really does give me hope. And how appropriate that Bill Clinton was here for this! I recommended it too.O8)

I saw a second of this on TV the other day. Interestingly, the clip they chose had the camera on Clinton as he sang the "imagine there's no heaven" phrase of the tune. I thought; fox and the fundies are going to go nuts with this one. We'll see...
