Sense of community??? When is the last time Stevie Wonder actually went out socializing amongst the general public? This is the country that made Stevie Wonder who he is, and now suddenly his surroundings (and his $110 million portfolio) isn't enough to grant him the happiness he feels he so richly deserves? Perhaps life was more fulfilling when he was a blind 5 year old kid playing a harmonica in Detroit. What's he going to do in Ghana? Open a community center and offer free piano and Braille lessons? I'm betting not.
I actually saw Stevie Wonder in concert in Las Vegas a few years ago. He's a supremely talented performer, but the last time he had a hit song was over 30 years ago. And whenever he strayed from Songs In The Key of Life or Innervisions, the audience practically went to sleep.
I really get a kick out of celebrities that do things like this. Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crystal, etc. People who haven't done shit in 20+ years who desperately try to get their name out and draw attention to themselves, so they rail against conservatives or perform some sort of grandstanding behavior by issuing press releases that they're leaving the USA.
Best o' luck, Stevie.
