    Line-up just posted on the Bridge School site...apparently they have added Sarah McLachlan.

    Wow, 10 acts on Sunday, if Pegi is included? Or maybe she got cut?

    That's a busy lineup.

    I don't think Pegi has ever done a full set before. She's always so busy hosting the concert and putting all the pieces in place that I'm guessing she won't be getting a full time slot, but you never know.

    9 acts is still a lot. I'm hoping it goes something like this on Sunday:

    Josh Groban ~ 10 minutes
    Sarah McLachlan ~ 15 minutes
    Cat Power ~ 30 minutes
    Death Cab ~ 45 minutes
    Norah Jones ~ 45 minutes
    Jack Johnson ~ 45 minutes
    Wilco ~ 1 hour
    Pumpkins ~ 1.5 hours
    Neil ~ whatever's left

    :D

    It's always a long day. That's why I'm glad Neil plays a few songs at the start.

    Now it lists Sarah McLachlan as Saturday only...I guess they're balancing out the lineup. http://bridgeschool.org/events.html

    Not only do people whine every year, people assume that acts will be added every year. The lineup looks pretty full, especially on Sunday. Pegi Young will be playing a set of her own material, aside from Neil's. I'd say the only chance for an act to be added is on Saturday, and the probability of that is between slim and none.

    Hmm... really... Sarah MacLachlan added after the first announcement.

    Hmm...really...looks like I was still right....except about the slim and none part.

    I'd say the chances of anybody else being added after MacLachlan is very remote right now.

    I did not see PJ on the Bridge School lineup for 2008.

    Sarah McLachlan is a great musician. Celine Dion and Sarah McLachlan have two things in common, they're both women and they're both from Canada, thats about it. I'd be more worried about the Smashing Pumpkins. I've seen them at bridge school. One of the worst performances I have ever seen.

    the lineup in 2005 was similarly lackluster

    that was Katrina and a lot of artists were doing other benifits

    another bad hurricane season this year expect artists to be booked elsewhere.

    plus, it's an election year so a lot of fundraising going on.

    here's hoping for a better lineup next year.

    I think I'll send in a donation and stay home this year.

    They both bug this shit out of me!

    .....and now I find out they're Canadian!

    I'll mail my check to the Bridge School this year.

    Also- not that you don't know this- but Neil is in the middle of a big tour & uses Bridge as one of his tour dates when that is the case.
