Ben Harper Fan Blogs

It is rare to find a person willing to give support for his fellow man, in these unpredictable days and times. Through the years of following Mr. Harper, embracing his music, and battling the obstacles of life, I can truly say that as a result of having the privilege of experiencing his music, and slowly learning what kind of a human being he represents, I am a better person. The Lewis Marnell Famiy Memorial Fund, and Sweet Relief III are inspiring endeavors, and encourage me to have a desire to support, help and give back to people in my community and life who may have experienced hardships or losses. Very close to my heart are efforts and causes that bring people closer together in love, and prove that we all need each other in this journey called life at one stage or another. The world would be a better place if we all looked out side of ourselves and our own needs, and took the time to focus on others who may need support, help and assistance. In my own community I have seen families who were once stable, and thriving reduced to unemployment and free food banks. Family members who are working minimum wage jobs, who can't put adequate food on their tables weekly. more»
