has a new album coming out and he wants everyone to buy it and love it. But he's not going to make a penny on it.

"For me, this is my cardboard sign up at the march," Mraz said. "This is me putting my body and my music and my name on the line to say ‘I stand with this movement and I want to help move this down the field towards a more equal and just world."“Look for the Good” will be released Friday, which also is Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. Mraz vows to make donations to progressive groups annually on Juneteenth.

The roots of the album go back to the year Donald Trump won the White House and took on more importance with the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month. “The things that Jason wants to sing about often make sense as reggae," Goldwasser said. "Jason is all about making a better world and calling out social issues and how we can improve upon them.

We Brits are baffled. We love the USA but can't understand why so many Americans blindly support a man as dreadful as Trump. He lies every day, he ignores international agreements that have kept the peace, he shows no loyalty to his staff. Very worrying for the USA and the world.

Mindbridge AWESOME!
