In a cooperative and collaborative effort, the six broadcast networks announced plans last week to present "Shelter From The Storm: A Concert For The Gulf Coast", a one-hour, commercial-free simulcast on Friday, Sept. 9 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/CT; tape delayed PT/MT). The entertainment special/fundraising event will salute the brave citizens in the devastated areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and pay tribute to the rescue personnel guiding relief efforts in the region.
Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Alicia Keys, Randy Newman, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart and Neil Young are among the performers initially scheduled to appear. Among the initial celebrities slated to make appearances are Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Ellen DeGeneres, Jack Nicholson, Chris Rock, Ray Romano and Sela Ward.
Well, what's pretty worrying...is that they got the most MILITANT of celebrities to appear. So you can be guaranteed a good old Bush-bash.
In fairness when Geldof or Bono are involved in one of those charity multi-celebrity events in Europe, at least they don't try to make it party political.
