EAR PLUGS
Late Saturday night I turned on VH1 and caught the final two hours or so of
the concert for NYC. The musical portions were good, thought not great. Paul
McCartney whipped out a new, crappy tune for the event and the whole show wrapped
with one of those awkward all-star jams. But what was moving about the show
was the reading of names of firemen and police officers who had lost their lives
in the attack. This simple act helped wash away irritating attempts at levity
by the likes of Jim Carey, who was upstaged by a few policemen who merely stood
behind him mutely. This morning they’re saying they raised $14 million
for the effort and I’m happy it was done, I just wish it had been worth
watching. If you hadn’t known the names and songs, you wouldn’t have
been impressed with the performances.
Then again, I wish there wasn't a need for this show in the first place.
