Cindy Adams: "One day I write the Kerry concerts are happening, next day I write the Kerry concerts are not happening, another day I write the Kerry concerts are again happening. Some future day I might have to write the latest slate of celebrities who are replacing those who can't make the new date. These Kerry concerts have given me a whole new career."
