After almost a year apart my friend Justin Dillon and I got to have breakfast together yesterday morning at Tartine. For the past couple of years Justin has been promoting an album with his band Tremolo. More importantly he has used his album, Love is the Greatest Revenge, to promote efforts to end human trafficking through a fund he established. Serendipitously Justin has been networking with record companies and Hollywood film studios on a project to develop a Television special (ala Live Aid) to end human trafficking. While we were eating breakfast the President of Virgin records called and he recently sat down with T Bone Burnett to talk about being involved in the project. I admire Justin’s persistence in being an advocate for the causes of justice in the entertainment industry. When he is not having meetings in Hollywood he supports his family by painting houses in the East Bay– and if all goes well he will be the unpaid executive producer for this television special. Way to be subversive.
