Thread: Stars Concert To Support The Red Cross

Threaded View

  1. #10
    The posts here have been very heartfelt and I read through this thread shaking my head in agreement. I did not watch the concert but just saw portions of it on the news this morning.

    Celebrity status is such a curious thing - and we are fascinated by them - but I see benefits and always wonder if the money spent to produce these things is worth it? I mean - how about just donating the money they spent to fly to the location, to stay in nice motels, etc and the cost of the clothing, etc.

    But I also think the celebrities are also people just like us and are crying and doing what they can privately. Some may be so above the real world I don't know. I remember looking through a People magazine and thinking that the cost of the ring that Paris Hilton has sure would go a long way towards feeding and sheltering hungry people.

    It was encouaging to read that link that ChrisH posted. It made me feel better to read about these stars actually donating and not just performing somewhere to raise money though I know that concerts and the like DO raise money.

    I have also been hearing about the Labor Day telethon being done by Jerry Lewis and I know that his annual televison event always makes lots of money - he will be sharing the money raised between the usual Muscular Dystrophy AND the hurricane victims. This makes me feel pretty good. He does this solely to raise money and not as publicity. Tony Orlando is part of it also - the guy who sang that "Yellow Ribbon" song years ago that still inspires those ribbons today.

    OK - I am just putting out my thoughts also. Watching the news clip with Kanye West abusing his platform to say the things he did - made me just want to cry
