Why would you get angry at them? You don't think it's a good cause? Donating their time in very short notice to raise millions of dollars for the victims?
I don't understand how anyone would disapprove of the show. I think people are letting their biases get in the way in this time of need.

I thought Tom Petty's song was appropriate.

Check out Lucianne. The money is not going to NYC. Joan Rivers pulled out of the show when she realized the money raised in the name of NYC would go to pet liberal causes and not the victims.

The money now appears not to be going to the victims and may even find its way, albeit indirectly, to their killers. See Post #26.
What a surprise! (NOT)

They were showcasing their own dubious talent and pursuing their own agendas. If they thought they were trying to help, it was a gross perversion of the word.

They were there because their regular concerts were cancelled out of fear, safety, or respect.
If the public reaction is any guage, I would guess that the grand total raised was $12.36, after expenses, of course.

Hollywood's bias and bullshit was so deep I had to turn it over. If Ted Nugent would have been there to do the star spangled banner, kiss my arse, or take me higher or KID ROCK with a new "#@*! the Osami butt lickers" rant, or aerosmith with "dream on", "just push play" or "sweet taste of india" or foo fighters with "my hero" or Bush with "chemicals between us" or something of that nature to point out our motivations and "in your face, killers" attitues in times of loss, it would have been better.
Look at who was NOT there... Crosby stills and nash did a cool rendition of my country tis of thee, on leno the other night... They did not show up to sing with neil "burnout" young... They appear to have grown a little in the last thirty years. Neil Young... he did not grow up, he just grew some gray hair... what a jerk.
Sammy hagar was not there or invited...
Eddie van halen does a GREAT job with our national anthem. NOT ONE of the bands that "on occassion" says anything about how great our nation is and the ability of our military folks to "kick ass" was invited or showed up.
Only the p@ssies showed up. Waahhh WAaahhh whiners.
I did enjoy seeing muhammed ali, say "If I was able... I would do something about this."
Overall, I did not expect much... and I was not dissappointed.
