Alicia Says No Smoking

One of Alicia Keys’ most recent concerts, scheduled to take place in
Indonesia, was being sponsored by Phillip Morris International, the ciggy company. Alicia received a call from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids urging her to pick the kids over the show.  She spoke out against the company and they pulled down all their promotional billboards

Alicia says she was unaware of the sponsorship, saying, “I apologize for any misleading advertising initially associated with the show. I am an unyielding advocate for the well being of children around the world and do not condone or endorse smoking. I look forward to bringing my music and message to my wonderful fans in
Jakarta.”

Let’s be a little more on top of the game Alicia, shall we? Please and thank you.

You Don’t Know My Name…

Published by justlo under Alicia Keys Edit This

Shocker! Alicia Keys isn’t her real name (please insert sarcastic tone here)! Her real name is Alicia Aguello-Cook and she uses Keys as her stage name. She says that when she was first looking for a name she thumbed through the dictionary and came upon Wild. She was going to go with Alicia Wild until her mom said, “It sounds like you’re a stripper.” Gotta Love moms for their unfettered honesty. I’m so glad she listened to mom dukes. Then again I suppose wild ain’t so bad. Since she was using the dictionary for a name she could have come across any number of unsuitable monikers. What about Alicia Acne, or Alicia Dyke…those could have tanked her career before it ever got off the ground.

Excuse me while I go sit in the corner for that last comment. Sighs…
