CBS' 60 minutes aired this updated version of its original story on Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti project and legend on the troubled island. The story is a very inspiring look at an immigrant and rock-star who remembers his roots and whose name is now mentioned along with Bono and Angelina as the global icons of celebrity development work. At the same time, I find much more enigmatic.
"People are also starting to ask whether Wyclef intends to capitalize on his popularity to take his career in another direction," Scott Pelley voices over, as he interviews Wyclef in the back of a car cruising through Cite Soleil, where passersby gawk and chant. He asks Wyclef if he'd like to run for president some day, to which Wyclef replies vapidly: "No, that's the whole catch. Like I don't wanna be president. I can't trade my rock and roll life for that."
