just an idea, but one way for the band and maybe all of us to help contribute to the relief effort in Haiti could be if Ed (or the whole band) digitally release a (studio) version of Bruce Springsteen's song 'My City of Ruins' and donate all proceeds to the relief effort?

here's his live version from the Kennedy Center Honors:

i think it's a very fitting song, and Ed's voice really soars on this song. it's a beautiful song and the content is very relevant.

what are everyone's thoughts on this?

EDIT:
THANK YOU SO MUCH 10C/PJ/ED/BRUCE FOR COMING THRU AND MAKING THIS AVAILABLE! :)

    I'd buy a copy of that even if the proceeds didn't go to Haiti. That would just be a bonus.

    You think you're really clever with that post don't you? You're probably going "OMG, look at that beauty!? I can't believe I came up with that brilliant idea! They should just make me the head of TenC now"

    Well, it was brilliant, so yeah, go ahead and gloat :P

    hahaha, thanks SOLAT319! i hear you're a legend around here so coming from you, that is an honor! ;)

    i think it makes sense for this to be released. i must have listened to this song this past week and Bruce's original version a hundred times. plus, it's just so devastating what happened over in Haiti, and this song just really gives the situation that much more sadness/understanding. i dunno what i'm trying to say, but i think you all get it too.

    i hope Bruce is on board too, he seemed to really like Eddie's version at the Kennedy Center Honor's benefit.

    here's to hoping that this happens! and Tim does a fantastic job as head of 10c, so i wouldn't want to take his job ;)

    they should definately do this, i've found myself playing this on repeat countless times, really loving eddie's solo stuff, i think he should release a new album....maybe the uke album that was mentioned a few months back 8-)
