A Concert for the Gulf Coast

Anyone watching? So far the performances have been excellent. Did anyone notice the guitar player behind the dixie chicks that looked freakishly Gene Simmons (the guy standing up). This is a beautiful song by Sheryl Crow. I don't know it, anybody?

This is a great concert.

Thank you Garth Brooks for ruining a classic.

It wasn't my kind of music and not my kind of artists, but yay to them.

And I KNEW IT!!!! Bush hates midgets. I've been saying that for years.

I liked Sheryl Crow and the Dixie Chicks a lot......

I guess this was easier for you to watch than the ball game, eh Jimmy?

Truthfully, I didn't even know the game was on.

That's what they all say.

What song did the Dixie Chicks sing? Anyone?

I thought pairing up Mary J. Blige with U2 was really cool. That woman can really make you feel a song

Kanye West...should not have performed. Alicia Keys should've picked a song that didn't involve a three-way scream fest between herself and ..whoever she was singing with.

Jennifer Anniston's speech about the premature babies made me cry. As did many of the clips of survivors.

Um, I just saw Gwen introducing Duran Duran, who are doing Girls on Film.
And some time before that there was a Gwen performance. I'm pretty happy.
er...wait, am I watching something else? I dunno. Also, I haven't seen it, but I LOVE the Blige. MJ is the real shiazz. "MJB tastes good when it should"

irishgrl · #11 09-10-2005, 12:08 AM

AMBER! that "MJB tastes good when it should" is HAUNTING me. isnt MJB a coffee? thats an old advertising catchphrase, yessir!

right up there with "dont cook tonight, call Chicken Delight!"
and "call Roto-Rooter, thats the name, and away go troubles, down the drain!"
and Brylcreem "A little dab'll do ya!"

oh and "FOUR OUT OF FIVE DENTISTS AGREE" (I always wondered what that fifth dentist thought.....)

ah, the good old days......

I know! And that is always what I think of when I think of Mary J. Blige! She is magnificent, and believe me, I don't like much, if any, R&B, but I like her.
But still, that's what I think.
It's fine, though. I wish someone could take my initials and say "ACMACCG - it tastes good when it should"

there used to be a cigarette commercial "filter, flavor, something something"
I wanna say Lucky Strikes, but they didnt have a filter....

remember "101, they're just a little bit longer (101)....."
cigarette ad of course....in Those days, no one thought anything of advertising booze or cigs...........
ACK! "good to the last drop!"
Juan Valdez gets up pretty early in the morning to pick the coffee beans (but only the CHOICEST beans!)

OMG.......Im on a roll..........

Thanks, Moon. Need that grounding force sometimes.

T.V. - so ephemeral and meaningless to me....especially with no Cable!

ooo, now Macy Gray! this show is way better than the other one y'all were talking about. Although, Joss Stone is on now, just not singing SDMHA.

She's singing some other more crapulous song. She is barefoot, though.

Hey, hey now. I'm not old enough to remember a televised cigarette commercial!
