Jay-Z says no to "We Are the World" remake

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: 'We Are the World,' I love it, and I understand the point and think it's great. But I think 'We Are the World' is like 'Thriller' to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched. I'm a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that's going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but 'We Are The World' is untouchable like 'Thriller' is untouchable… I think it's time for us to make a new [song]. I tried to do that with 'Stranded.' I didn't try to make 'We Are the World,' but I tried to make our take on how we felt." —Jay-Z, in a Feb. 13 interview with MTVNews.com. (2/17a)
