The concert: on every conceivable channel droned on and on and on. I don't know what it was supposed to be other than "feel good" shit for the performers. What a downer. Socially Conscious songs, preaching monologues, and just plain darkness is supposed to get us to cough up money I suppose. Well, the networks sure did their share of pissing money away. I couldn't help but think while channel surfing between games and concert that the refugees would have been far better off had everyone, including the networks, just contributed cash instead of preening before America; or more precisely the America without a team in the pennant races or a high school kid not playing football or playing in a band on the traditional Friday Night High School Football game.

The BET had their own telethon and donated $1mil to the relief effort. Missed it. But not worry, MTV kept their spaced out audience out in space.....
