Despite the fact that the news organizations have done a terrible job reporting what is still going on, there are folks still in extremely dire straights.
Yes, NY/NJ is very lucky to get this sort of star power to support its efforts, but the gov't has failed this area no less than it did in Katrina, but for some reason the news organizations haven't deemed it as worthy as NOLA to get the images and messages across. Hopefully tonight they'll show some of the terrible situations that still exist, and we can all pitch in and help get these folks back on their feet. NYers are resilient, but this was a huge blow, and many are still down.!
i definitely agree that with every disaster the media moves on well before everyone is out of hard times but Sandy wasn't even 25% of Katrina. 100 something dead compared to 1800? Not really comparable. But yes people still need help big time.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Well, that was tremendous. Just wonderful. I've loved that song for so long.
Now, as for what Adam Sandler just did to "Hallelujah," I hope Leonard Cohen tracks him down and slaps him. I cannot believe that just happened. :evil:
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
sandler was awesome! that song cracked my wife and i up.
agreed made me laugh my ass off.....
Eddie vedder coming back out by himself I hope!!
Hope so... But if Eddie singing my favorite Floyd song is all we get, I'm cool with it...pretty awesome!

I thought he was very impressive, but was thinking he'd sing the whole set. As I watched the other singer (not Roger Waters, but the other dude), I was wondering if Ed was due to sing but was stuck in traffic

Yeah, who's that choad? Should've just had Vedder the whole time if Waters wasn't gonna sing.
Did the sax player behind EV have the creepiest smile or what?

I wonder if Roger will let the fans sing?
"Ok. New York...this is you..."
"Don't cry......"
Nope. That must be Eddie's trademark
