On Saturday, July 2, my wife, my youngest daughter and I were among the approximately one million people on Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway listening to Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Destiny’s Child, Will Smith, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, and others perform for the Live 8 concert. On Monday July 4, I returned to that same location – along with about a half a million people - to listen to a concert by Elton John, Bryan Adams, and the Philly Pops culminating with a fantastic fireworks display.

Concerts that were free so that pressure could be put on the U.S. government to send more taxpayer money into the corrupt continent of Africa so that murderous dictators can maintain their death grip. Glad he enjoyed it. Nice display of principles.

You mean the free concerts like the Philly Pops?

I guess not everyone is as principled as you are. Maybe you can climb down from your high horse and tell us how we should all live.

Then again maybe that is the point of the article isn't it? That we are not all as Godlike as you and that the popular culture does effect more people than your highmindedness.

Then again like most holier-than-thou people you are probably nothing more than a hypocrite - and vocal one at that.

Personally I'll stick with what Tremoglie says and you can go live in your own little world with its high road and principles. Just remember your principles when you ask someone to take care of you when you are sick or fix your plumbing or clean your streets for you or collect your trash you better make sure that they only listen to Christian music or Country music. Because more than likely they listen to Elton John or Blackeyed Peas.

Oh yeah the ELton John and Blackeyed Peas fans vote too!!
