THE EVERGREENS OF 1958 ( YESTERDAY AND TODAY)
INTRODUCTION
*Narrator*
In 1958, when these ‘evergreens’ sat under the tree, they talked about football, girls, girls, badminton, motor bikes, and girls....
Today in 2010, these same ‘evergreens’ under that very same tree, talk about insulin, Glucophage, Lipetor and the Viagra....
Having said all this, ladies and gentlemen please put your hands together for these young evergreens with their presentation called ‘You don’t stop till you get enough’
Music Starts (softly)
(Narrator speaking over music playing softly in the background)
*Narrator*
You and I must make a pact. We must try and bring salvation back.
For ............. where there is Love, there is Peace.
But the Power of Love is the WOW factor – that, that makes it all happen and the World go around.
Love asks no questions. They get closer and don’t stop till they get enough.
1st DANCE (DON’T STOP)-Song 2
(Dancers must be ready before music starts)
*Narrator*
I know when I go home, there is going to be a fight. My parents don’t understand me. Perhaps, they don’t love me anymore.
It’s always the same questions: “Why are you late coming home? Where have you been? etc. etc”.
I don’t care for them anymore or anyone else for that matter’
I’d rather just Beat It.
2nd DANCE (BEAT IT)-Song 3
*Narrator*
Well I did. Who needs them anyway?
Then, I met her. She was like a beauty queen, but dangerous.
It was supposed to be a one-night affair, A one-night affair. Man proposes and God disposes. My world came tumbling down when Billie Jean said she was having my baby.
3rd DANCE (BILLIE JEAN) – Song 4
*Narrator*
Well, she had him anyway – swearing that the kid is mine. But I am not sure.
He grew up to be just like me – no goals, no dreams. Nothing to look forward to!
Living a dangerous life - women, sex, drugs, being the order of the day. And constantly looking back over his shoulder.
You better watch it boy!
4th DANCE (SMOOTH CRIMINAL) - Song 5
*Narrator*
You know what! I swear that kid is mine now.
Look at him. Trapped like a caged animal; and nowhere to go. Wandering and wondering what and where it went wrong.
Love and compassion certainly has no meaning for him. You now pay the price for your previous deeds.
Will death be the final calling and salvation????
5th DANCE (THRILLER) – song 6
*Narrator*
Stop! I still have hope for me, for him and for all of you out there. Yes, we can still Save Our Souls. How???
Just look at the man in the mirror and make the change!
6th DANCE (MAN IN THE MIRROR) – song 7
*Narrator*
What is it within us that causes pain in the world?
The source of all joy and peace actually lies within us.
Let us find the key within ourselves and unleash the ocean of DIVINE BLISS in our lives.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams.
So come one, come all. Let us hold hands and make that connection to start healing ourselves.
MUSIC SONG (WE ARE THE THE WORLD)
CONCLUSION
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Another round of applause for the ‘evergreens’.
These marvellous people have put all they have got for their dance because they don’t stop till they get enough!
Thunderous applause!!

What is worth thinking about
TED is a small nonprofit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TEDx program and the annual TED Prize.
The annual conferences in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Oxford bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). On TED.com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free. More than 700 TEDTalks are now available, with more added each week. All of the talks feature closed captions in English, and many feature subtitles in various languages. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.

Our mission: Spreading ideas. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. This site, launched April 2007, is an ever-evolving work in progress, and you're an important part of it. Have an idea? We want to hear from you.
The TED Conference, held annually in Long Beach, is still the heart of TED. More than a thousand people now attend -- indeed, the event sells out a year in advance -- and the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience. It shouldn't work, but it does. It works because all of knowledge is connected. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole.
TEDGlobal is TED's twin conference. It was held in Oxford, UK, in 2005, and then in Arusha, Tanzania, in 2007. TEDGlobal is now held annually in Oxford each summer. The themes of the global conference are slightly more international in nature, but the full TED format is maintained.
TEDActive features a live simulcast of the Long Beach conference, in fabulous Palm Springs, with an emphasis on connection, conversation and creation.
TEDIndia was held in November 2009 in Mysore, India, celebrating and exploring the beckoning future of South Asia.
The TED Prize is designed to leverage the TED Community's exceptional array of talent and resources. It is awarded annually to an exceptional individual who receives $100,000 and, much more important, the granting of "One Wish to Change the World." After several months of preparation, the wish is unveiled at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. Over the life of the prize, wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.
TEDTalks began as a simple attempt to share what happens at TED with the world. Under the moniker "ideas worth spreading," talks were released online. They rapidly attracted a global audience in the millions. Indeed, the reaction was so enthusiastic that the entire TED website has been reengineered around TEDTalks, with the goal of giving everyone on-demand access to the world's most inspiring voices.
The TED Open Translation Project brings TEDTalks beyond the English-speaking world by offering subtitles, interactive transcripts and the ability for any talk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. We launched the project with more than 250 translations, 50 languages and 100 volunteer translators; one year on, there are more than 7,000 completed translations from our thousands-strong community. It's an ambitious project that radically enhances the accessibility of the talks -- for the hearing-impaired, for whose who speak English as a second language, for search engines (which can now index the full transcript of a talk), and of course for the vast audience of non-English speakers worldwide.
Today, TED is therefore best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all
