Wired reports on Friday, 9 March 2007: Tracy Chapman’s TED-inspired song:
Take that, Davos! Did anyone ever right a song about you? Tracy Chapman just performed a song she wrote recently that she said was inspired by TED. I assume the title is “Let Me Stop Thinking.” Here’s the chorus:

“And now all I do is sit in my darkened room/And on occasion break my silence to howl at the moon/To curse every nerve and neuron in my brain/That will stop the pain I’m feeling/And let me stop thinking/Stop thinking of you.”

WHAT IS TED?
TED is a yearly event that brings together more than 1000 thought-leaders, movers and sharkers in Monterey, California every year for four days of learning, laughter and inspiration.
They hear not just the lastest ideas of Technology, Entertainment and Design, but also Business, Science and The Arts … in fact ANY subject area offering something fresh and important.
This unique breadth of content, and the quality of the people who deliver it, are what make TED special. After four days, you gain an understanding of how your own work fits into the larger web of knowledge.

And you get the change to connect the extraordinary individual who are helping create a better future for us al. It cost $4.400 to attend the whole event (that lasts 4 days).
