The concert was amazing - these artists did it for free...for their neighbors. Who gives a shit how much attention they're getting for it? The more attention, the more money will be raised. Everybody wins. I love when that happens.

I'd rather make this concert about helping Sandy's families out. blueclown Dec 2012 #1
