Harry Belafonte 

Although he first became famous for his recording of calypso hit The Banana Boat Song (“Day-O”), Harry Belafonte has for many years been a humanitarian activist, involved with such organizations as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Peace Corps. His outspoken criticism of the U.S. involvement in the affairs of other countries has stirred up controversy more than once, but he continues to stand up for what he believes in and to exercise his right of free speech.
I thought Harry Belafonte was just a singer until I found out how hard he has worked for so long to help improve the lives of those less fortunate, without regard for his own personal comfort or safety.

Harry Belafonte Syndrome

When a famous person who generally stays out of politics suddenly becomes extremely political for seemingly no reason.
Harry Belafonte Syndrome was named for the actor and musician of the same name (Duh). He was very popular and famous until the mid-late 2000s, when he suddenly revealed that he is a registered democrat. Suddenly, he became an extreme liberal activist. He even said in 2012 that anyone who opposes the re-election of Barack Obama should be sent to prison. This statement landed him in very hot water, and he was harshly censured before effectively falling off the face of the earth. However, he is still alive, and his liberal activism is still dominant over his musical talent.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
