The Broadway stagehands strike has wrapped up, but those kooky Hollywood writers are still holding out for a bigger slice of your iTunes Family Guy downloads, or something like that.
Last week, according to E! Online, R&B artist Alicia Keys decided to show the striking scribblers some love ‘n solidarity:
More than 4,000 strikers and supporters—actors, directors, production staff, musicians, members of the California nurses and farm workers unions, etc.—showed up Tuesday for a WGA-organized solidarity rally …
Alicia Keys, who told the crowd that, as a writer herself, she is fully behind the cause, performed “No One” and “Go Ahead.”
“I’m a writer. Without words, there are no songs. Without words, there are no stories,” she said. “Stay strong, I’m supporting you! Let’s walk!”
And then the throng marched down Hollywood Boulevard.
Except that the throng didn’t include Keys.
Leave it to TMZ to expose the hypocrisy. Keys shouted “Let’s walk!” … and then walked to a waiting SUV so she could get the heck out of there.
