Agents of Change

John and Yoko started it all with the Bed-In for Peace, using celebrity to bring awareness to a cause. Rocker Bob Geldof picked up the gauntlet, raising funds for the less fortunate. Now stars like Bono and Angelina Jolie seem to be more famous for good deeds than creative talents. And actors like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Don Cheadle use their fame to raise awareness. Where would we be without these agents of change?
