Good luck to the good cause, but I am watching Survivor.
Of course Kanye West will say Obama doesn’t like black people.
They lost me at “Robin Hood Relief Fund.”
As with so many of these benefits, most of the money will probably disappear down a rabbit hole.
I’m sure there would be a large benefit outpouring if anything like that happened in Texas. /s
RobinHood relief fund?? No thanks.
So does this mean Geithner won’t have to print the $60 billion the states requested for relief?
I wonder if any of it actually goes to anything more than a byzantine slush fund.
Anyone know any of the history behind the “Robin Hood Relief Fund?”
Based on the name an past events, a big chunk of money they raise will go to people with special connections or disappear for a few years.
Yawn.
I’ve no argument with the effort, though it’s 7 weeks since Sandy, but I would feel more confident of the cause if I knew the artists were writing their own checks and not just contributing a four song set.
The Rev. Jacksonnnnnnnnnn is apparently answering phones.
And just who is it supposed to benefit? The loser bands that get the free publicity?
I think I just heard someone singing “Hallelujah, Sandy Screw Ya...”
Tooooo weird.
This will probably turn out like those concerts for famine relief where the entertainers got piles of bling, royal weekends with all the caviar they could eat and all the booze they could drink along with tons of publicity while the starving refugees got a few bags of rice dropped from a cargo plane.
Where are the concerts when countries like Bangla Desh, India etal are devestated by typhoons? Or even other disasters throughout the US such as wildfires and crippling snowstorms?
So let’s see, Springsteen cheated on his first wife with a member of the band, she is now his wife, then he cheated on her with a member of the band recently, Bon Jovi STOLE some $15 Million dollars from the Last charity he started, Kanye West Hates America and proudly proclaims so, Why in the world would ANYBODY patronize these worthless Human Beings is beyond me. Find a Reputable charity to donate to if you wish, but these people are died in the wool Communists and They all Proudly Proclaim so. Ther are the Scum of the Earth, and yes I lost what little respect I had for Governor Christie after his juvenile display when the met the 3 time ADULTERER.
It’ll be funny to see how much foreigners contribute.
