...make something in this format? I tried to sequence it so that it could be listened to in its entirety and had a progression that felt thematically logical and natural. In a way, the three records are like chapters in a book. Unless you're serializing a book you wouldn't separate the chapters, but they're also meant to be these little self-contained segments within the narrative...
Well, let's see: '62, '72, '82, '92, 2002--that's 42 years of recording for other people. I thought, At this point, it's time for you to record for yourself. That way there wouldn't be so many spoons in the soup. There would just be one Aretha spoon. I'll take responsibility for all of it--choosing the producer, the musicians, the singers, where I will record, what time...
...Haitians aren't shy about noting how thoroughly corrupt that government is. Many workers openly laud the fact that they don't need to know (or kick back to) a local machine boss to get a cash-for-work spot - "If the government were running this, I probably wouldn't have this job," says Sentelis Doassalit, 30 - and that the pay goes directly to their hands and not through a venal, lethargic Haitian bureaucracy...
Granted, Haiti, a republic founded by former slaves who won their independence from France in 1801, has long been at a disadvantage thanks to lingering discrimination in the hemisphere and the world. (The U.S. wouldn't recognize Haiti until 1862, and Nicolas Sarkozy's visit there two weeks ago was, remarkably, the first ever by a French head of state.) As a result, the international community needs to give the country more comprehensive help than it's offered in the past. But such aid should not be delivered without an acknowledgment by Haiti's ultra-venal political and economic...
Bellerive wouldn't go as far as to blame Haiti's élite for the more than 200,000 earthquake deaths. But those who doubt Haiti's ability to transform its government should note that Chile wasn't always an OECD candidate - it spent 17 years, from 1973 to 1990, under a brutal military dictatorship - and that Haitians are more than capable of emulating Chileans if given the chance...
