Where indeed? Watch as these three twist themselves into pretzels trying to conflate relief efforts and political one-upsmanship, while utterly ignoring the fact that Bruce, Bon Jovi, Sting and many of the other performers are veterans of raising private funds for public good...something you'd think they'd back 100%. Meatloaf? Not so much.

(3,338 posts)but my gut feeling is that not a lot of people will jump at the chance to whip out
the ol' VISA to hear Hank, Jr, sing yet another song about his daddy. Maybe Donald Trump
will pay him $5 million dollars to sing,...personally, I'd pay him $5 million NOT to sing.

(2,795 posts)Are they supposed to invite Kid Rock, Meatloaf, Ted Nugent to play? Or one of the plethora of no name country singers that are always present for one of scumney's rallies? Oh what about Pat Boon?
And when that fat one said New Jersey doesn't even have power to watch this - well, it's not them that need to watch. It's people who are needed to donate and most of the country has power and can watch the benefit and donate.
Why can't people see how stupid the Fox pundits are? WHY?

(12,287 posts)I'm thinking they have actual heart in this. Kidd Rock wouldn't even help Detroit, why would he bother with New Jersey?

The people of New York & New Jersey need a assistance, not laughs...

Objectivism makes no allowances for ANY sort of charity. It's atruistic, and that is strictly verboten.
