See why we’re having a western omelet with our brew:
• For the 16th consecutive year, Stevie Wonder held his annual House Full of Toys benefit over the weekend. However, this year’s concert was overshadowed by the recent events in Newtown, Connecticut. During the course of the show, Wonder called for stricter gun laws saying, “I think we’re at a very interesting time now where we can use again tragedy such as this, which is a major tragedy, as a way to move forward to something that we need to confront. I think people can’t think like they’re living in the wild, wild west going into 2013. With guns and their accessibilities, there have to be stronger and stricter gun laws. It’s okay saying no. It’s okay particularly when you know some people are not as mentally stable. So you don’t want them to have a gun or any other kind of weapon at their disposal.” [Rolling Stone]
• In related news, Jamie Foxx is speaking out against the violence saying what’s shown on TV and in film plays a large role in what happens in reality. “We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn’t have a sort of influence,” said Foxx during a Django interview on Saturday. “It does.” [Grio]
