CNN Everyday Heroes: Wow

I’ve been down on CNN ever since they fired Aaron Brown. But a special that’s re-airing frequently this weekend has brought the network back into my good graces. CNN Heroes brings together an awe-inspiring group of “everyday superheroes.” Here’s a link to the companion web site, which profiles these amazing (and I don’t use that adjective lightly) men and women — most of whom view themselves as just average folks — who have done stunning things for their fellow humans over the past year. I can’t recommend this program enough.

And to make a good night even better: Sheryl Crow’s gripping rendition of Shine Babylon. I also like the music video version of the song, featured on her web site, which I’m including below.
