[Austin-ghetto-list] Telethon

[Jon Ford]

Wayno-- Well, I confess-- I watched the whole thing. My wife made me do it. 
Pretty good taste overall--no overt calls to war other than Tom Petty's 
macho little song and Clint Eastwood's flinty rap. Kept focus PRIMARILY
on the victims and raising money for their families.Some anti-racist 
concerns expressed/concern for targeting of Middle Eastern persons in US. 
Noticed many celebs had no idea what the lyrics were for "America the 
Beautiful" but at least Willy did. Billy Joel may have gained weight, but he 
sure can sing-- that New York song he did really stole the show--at least 
for me. Mariah Cary--the less said the better.
