STARS WILL SHINE AT KERRY FUND-RAISERS (the usual suspects to perform)

NY POST ^ | 6/1/04 | CINDY ADAMS

[Liz]

Kindly recall I am the first to have clued you about John Kerry's June 10 fund-raiser. I now tell you more. It's called "A Change Is Going to Come." It's 6 p.m.

Two hours. Radio City Music Hall. Stars Bette Midler, who's a friend of Teresa Heinz Kerry, Whoopi Goldberg, who's a friend of William Jefferson Clinton, Robin Williams, who's a friend of anyone not Republican. Also Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, John Mellencamp and Kerry's longtime Boston pal James Taylor. Exec producer is Jann Wenner, the Creator and Lord God Almighty and main man behind Rolling Stone magazine.

The first production is June 7 in L.A. at Disney Hall, featuring Barbra Streisand, Neal Diamond, Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal. "It took several calls to get Barbra. I know her and John himself called her.

Then came Neal. Then Willie and Billy. One manager won't commit until another confirms. Lots of egos have to be checked at the door. I had to say, 'Look, don't do it for me. Do it for the country.' The hosts are Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Ben Affleck, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman. No speeches, just intros.

BARBRA STREISAND TO PERFORM AT JUNE 7
KERRY CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING CONCERT

EVENT TO BE HELD AT LA'S DISNEY CONCERT HALL

Barbra Streisand will perform at a Kerry campaign concert June 7, 2004 at Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall, headlining the show with Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal and other artists to be announced. It will be Ms. Streisand's first public performance since she led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee event in September of 2002, raising a record sum in excess of $6,000,000 in the process. Two years prior to that, her Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium concert brought a record $5,000,000 to the Gore for President campaign.

The June 7 event is one of two concerts announced by the Democratic National Committee to benefit Kerry Victory Committee 2004, the Kerry campaign and the DNC. The second concert on June 10, 2004 will feature Bette Midler, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg...
