Annie Lennox updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (January 18), discussing the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti last week. The Eurythmics singer tells readers:

Haiti… It always seems that the ones who can least afford it are also the those who get hit by the sharp end of catastrophe. Absolutely devastating. I’m making my own personal contribution to the British Red Cross, and I’m sure that everybody reading this blog will be doing something to support the situation there.. Even if you just give ONE pound or ONE Euro, or dollar.. that will be your unique and individual contribution to the overwhelm!.. So if you haven’t already done so.. Please can I encourage you to just get off the couch and get active… In that way, you can be part of the collective solution, and you can give yourself a pat on the back for being an engaged and caring member of the human race! YOU REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
C’mon my Peeps…and let me know what you’re doing!!

Annie Lennox updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (January 1), thanking fans for their well wishes and marking the start of 2010. The Eurythmics singer writes:

The first day of 2010 has now passed for me, and I’m going to bed… Time is so relative, meaning that it passes slowly or quickly depending on how it’s perceived. A part of me is still somewhat in denial of the fact that I’ve been in existence on the planet for five years over half a century… and another part is like… Next!! Next!!!

This is just a short blog to say THANKYOU to everybody who sent in birthday messages/Xmas messages, and New Year messages… I hope that you’ve all had a lovely break, and that you’re not too hung over/bloated/wiped out etc…. We never know what’s ahead…but at least we can do our best with the time that we have right here….and we can possibly learn to be patient and philosophical in order to deal with all the challenges and inevitable pitfalls that might come along to rain on our parade…so may the sun always shine in your corner, and may you always have a handy umbrella nearby! BEST WISHES from the Scot!

Annie Lennox updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (December 20), disappointed with the results of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. The Eurythmics singer tells readers:

Well, the “accord” (nothing really binding) at Copenhagen has been reached, with loopholes so big you could fly a jet plane through them. So much for “extreme urgency to save the planet.” Apparently we’ve made a “first step”. I mean… either the planet is imminently about to scorch to a crisp, or it’s not. What’s the deal here??
When your house is burning down, you don’t take a “first step” out of the building.. you MOVE FAST…. you RUN taking GIANT STEPS!
According to the politicians “speech rhetoric”, there seems to be a kind of feel good factor in sounding as if you’re really taking it seriously, and are genuinely making the effort required to address the situation… But then everybody knows that talk is cut price. Is anyone surprised? What did you expect?

Annie Lennox checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (October 30) after rehearsing amongst esteemed company for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert later that evening. The Eurythmics vocalist writes:

OK… This is like a blog/twit.. meaning.. it’s neither a blog or a twitter, but a combination of both. So… rehearsed with Ms Franklin and her band yesterday afternoon.. Lenny Kravitz dropped in, then I went next door to listen to U2 and Mick… JAGGER… that is, while Jeff Beck was rehearsing in another room… I mean… Guys???!!! GUYS???!!!
PS..Just hope I don’t fall over…

Annie Lennox played the role of movie reviewer in her latest blog at MySpace on Monday (August 3). The Eurythmics singer writes:

I watched The Godfather2 the other night…( for some weird reason it’s the first time I’ve seen it.) How could that be??!! It’s extraordinary. A masterpiece in every way. And as for Robert de Niro, and Al Pacino are incredible. They both use hand gestures and facial expressions that are so understated that they’re almost imperceptible…yet at the same time, deeply weighted in subliminal undertone…and Pacino’s eyes are as cold as a fish the whole way through..so brilliant. It’s wonderful to discover a film that probably most of the western world has seen many times…except me…and find it completely transporting.

Annie Lennox updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (April 6), weighing in on last week’s G20 summit in London and the struggling state of the global economy. The Eurythmics singer writes:

We are all like little ants… going about the business of our lives in our own individual and collective ways. Ultimately we are all interconnected, and if one thing shifts, we all feel the effect in one way or another. It’s always interesting to watch the latest developments… A few days ago the G20 leaders (head ants!) gathered here in London. In a few hours, they discussed global finance, apparently looking to find solutions, or ways through the economic crisis. The issue is SO vast, and so complex, and it runs far deeper than mere currency. I personally believe that the entire (financial ecological ethical social industrial) system needs a desperate emergency overhaul… the whole way we exist on the planet, otherwise survival is unsustainable. We’ve been so out of kilter with the natural balance of things for so long. Indigenous people have always respected and revered nature. Even if, as human beings, they might have territorial/fights fights, the great source/provider was never abused or squandered.

Modern society has a lot to answer for… in all kinds of ways. Will the head ants manage to become collectively intelligent/cooperative/wise/visionary??? Your guess is as good as mine.
