Eddie Vedder's Rise Used to Raise Cancer Awareness

cincybearcat

Music used for cancer awareness....smokes like a chimney...sells lighters....hmmmmmmm.

Good for him for letting his music be used for a good cause...hope he works on the other issues, so we all get lots more music.

I heard the song played on a promo on 660 AM radio in NY during a commercial.

I saw Eddie listed in my Sports Illustrated but he is not listed on the website.

My friend Anna told me today that she is one of the phone answering people for SU2C tomorrow night. I asked her if she was prepared for all of the hang ups she was going to get when the caller realized they were NOT going to get to talk to a celebrity. LOL She said there was a whole section on how to handle irate people who wanted to talk to a specific person!

Make a lot of calls, people! If you get Anna, tell her "Hello!" If you get Ed, call me!

Who's gonna relay if Ed is on?

Surf Rider

Musical Guests:
Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood.



Looking at the list, I see now why Ed backed the fuck out.

Does anyone know where the actual show will take place? I was curious if it WAS in NYC since the commercial shows locations in NYC; Staten Island Ferry, Central Park, Grand Central Station, Wrigley Field, etc. I searched the web a bit but found nothing yet.

I believe it's taking place at the KODAK THEATRE in Hollywood, Ca.

They used "Photographs" when they were talking about that kid with cancer.

How do you use Ed's music to promote this night and then not have him actually perform the song on your show?

i know-it's fuicking ridiculous. I think Ed backed out because of all the shitty performers though, this really sucks big time, I mean I support a cure to cancer but the only good person was James Taylor

Yay, false advertising! Their intentions may have been good, but poor execution.

No sh*t. Rise would have been great. I could imagine the whole audience standing at once. Could have been very uplifting. :-\

agreed. Weird! Something must have transpired. He was listed as a performer in an ad I saw (in Us Weekly).

Melissa Etheridge is a great singer though. It's powerful to see her there, as a cancer survivor.

I watched it. I liked it. I have had cancer, so I might be a bit biased, but I liked the "kick ass" attitude of it without all the BS. I was a little bit sad that Ed didn't make an appearance, and a little confused by both presidential candidates responses, but all in all it was good. It was meant to be a fundraiser, not an entertainment show and I think they probably raised a ton of money. We got busy signals for a loooong time.

I like that one of the thoughts behind SU2C is to get better treatments to patients faster. I used the antibody that was partially featured. They didn't name it, but it was most likely Herceptin (or the derivitive of it, but the name escapes me right now). This is an example of a drug that is pretty non-toxic, but it works "miracles". At least I hope so!!! Herceptin could have saved lots of lives, but it took a long time to be available (especially for early-stage women like me).

We called twice to donate, splitting it up. Both times, we got just regular old folks.

Of course we would have all have loved to see Ed again, but it wasn't about Ed or PJ to me!

i know. but we shouldn't fight about it here. we should focus on what the show was all about and it's message to us all. to stand up 2 cancer.

I know! I just want to give him a big KISS!!! Wow--I know that he has a ton of money, but there are a lot of people with a ton of money who don't donate to causes (whatever they may be). I would like to think that I would too, and not just the ones that apply to me.
