PING! ;)

[EGPWS]

Supporting the troops is making headway within the entertainment industry.

This can only be seen as showing that promoting the surge is working. : )

[samtheman]

Good news.

[nyyankeefan]

glad to see some entertainers with some sense of honor & pride in the US and supporting the Brave & Heroic fighting the WOT!!!!

[Son House]

Yep, Glenn Miller and the other Patriotic Entertainers beats the unpatriotic Entertainers every time.

Sarah McLachlin surprises me too.

[puroresu]

Jewel is a surprise as well. Good for all of them!

Music for the troops ping

[mylife]

Yeah, I know.
But she is an Alaskan so maybe thats where she gets it from

[afortiori]

Contributing a song to what is essentially a promotional CD is not that noteworthy. The songs tend not to be hits to boot.

Obviously, some of these artists have done a lot more in other ways, but let’s keep in perspective the actual contribution here.

Great news! Thanks for the ping, Mylife.

I knew Billy Joel is a good guy ;) Looking forward to hearing their cd!

I wish the troops would see more support from hollywood, and the country in general.

[tndarlin]

Right now we can show our support for the troops by texting them to 89279 from Nov 17th to Nov 22nd for Thanksgiving.

[GodBlessUSA]

Me too. Hoping this is the beginning and more will soon follow.

The Billy Joel and Melissa Etheridge numbers certainly qualify as legitimate hits. Those more familiar than I with the remaining artists will have to speak as to whether or not the other selections do, as well.

Way to buzzkill, incidentally. Sheesh.
