A Peaceful Solution AnimalDan Jean Luc Malandain
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Jean Luc Malandain gives us an a cappella version of “A Peaceful Solution.” He puts out so much energy and intent that the lack of instrumental accompaniment is scarcely noticed.
I appreciate the fearlessness with which Jean Luc Malandain displays his excitement and enthusiasm. If more people approached peace with this level of passion the call for peace could no longer be ignored.
Jean Luc Malandain aka AnimalDan demonstrates how one can champion a cause without threatening violence.
Have We The People of the United States of America forgotten how to fervently argue our issues without becoming labeled a terrorist?
Can we still become excited without intimidating aggression?
AnimalDan shows us that all this is possible. You can become excited about peace. Just express your feeling of joy at the thought of a peaceful solution, a peaceful revolution, that saves America.
I also respect the fact that AnimalDan used entry level video production technology. Here he shows us that when you feel moved to carry the message of peace forward that one can go ahead with the resources at hand.
This internal feeling of being moved to action, this motivation of conscious, when given free reign can burst forth with an energy that cannot be denied. AnimalDan Jean Luc Malandain shows us this as well.
I also get a feeling that peace can be fun. We can have a good time singing songs and dancing and just watching the party as peace becomes pervasive.
Looking forward, it may take large numbers of people to demonstrate the fearlessness required to have a good time spreading the message of peace.
How can any thoughtful considerate person not be moved by this thought?
If you can get enthusiastic about peace would now be a good time to show it?
Here at the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute we think that this is a great time to show enthusiasm for peace.
Have a fabulous time spreading the message of peace. I know AnimalDan Jean Luc Malandain, Willie Nelson and all the others who have participated in the “A Peaceful Solution” Project are having a fabulous time doing it.
* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *
The other thing on which I’d like to insist is I did that “work” (!) in direct vidcam capture, having made a personal adaptation in French in some 5 minutes ..! I’m not proud of it, please put the blame on my enthusiastic reaction .
I use to perform with a combo called “AnimalDan” (this is anagram for MALANDAIN), which is my artist’s “avatar”, Jean-Luc MALANDAIN being my true name 
may be U cud state “AnimalDan (Jean-Luc MALANDAIN)…
Thanks a bunch, the one thing I’m proud of is taking action 2gether with U sisters and brothers ! Hugs, AD/J-Luc !
Looking at the “guide-questionnaire”, I can’t find anything to say which would not been totally ordinary, banal… evident.
Why are you passionate about creating peace?
Just because I’m passionate about creating…
How long have you been working for peace?
As far as I can remember…
What motivates you to work for peace and the environment?
Who may *not* be -that’s what I *can’t* figure out…
Why have you chosen the path of Art for Peace?
Just because it’s nearly my only capability, I’m afraid… (And I don’t expect I’ll pass on any “Guernica” to the world…).
Tho it’s not the only path I’m following for Peace and environment… I’m trying to be an activist by all means within my reach.
What are your ideas for peaceful solutions?
“Nothing to kill or die for…” (Lennon) - Gandhi’s program - Tatanka Yokanta - White Cloud Talatawi - Lafayette - Libertarian program - including general strike, refuse to obey, pacific occupation…

Since Willie Nelson did such a fine job of releasing a song and letting people run with it, I thought I’d try to do the same. I’ll post the words first. You can make your own tune to it if you like.
Next, I’ll just sing the melody I wrote, and you can run with that too.
I’m stuck without a good guitar right now, but if I can borrow one, I’ll sing and play and post the chords I used, but feel free to do with it as you like.
This seems to be a great thing and it seems to be catching on. I love the “Mother Earth” version that was added to “A Peaceful Solution.”
Ok. Here are the words. Please ignore the copyright. That was just so someone who didn’t care and just wanted to make money off of it couldn’t steal it:
Spread Your Love by Cal Jennings
Ki, Chi, The Source, The Force, are just
Different names for God.
It’s Really very simple,
But to you in may seem odd.
It’s through the Holy spirit
That God spreads Jesus love.
So evr’yone let’s all join hands
And spread peace from above.
The world is flled with hatred and war,
Greed, lust, violence, and sin.
We’ve got to fight a spiritual war
That only comes from within.
So if you call God Allah,
Buddah, Krishna, or Id,
It’s time to come together in peace.
It’s about time that we did.
Refrain:
Spread your love throughout the world.
Let your light shine bright.
It’s time to break the darkness
And turn on our inner light.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
