The hour-long living room concert saw performances from the likes of Billie Eilish, Dave Grohl, Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mariah Carey and Sam Smith,and many more. Grohl performed an acoustic rendition of ‘My Hero’, while Billie Joe Armstrong delivered a stripped back take on ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’. Introducing his performance, Grohl said: “I hope you’re staying healthy. If you love someone let them know, if you’re thankful for someone, tell them. I’d like to dedicate this song to all the people out there on the frontlines that are doing their best to get us through all of this.” Full Story: https://www.nme.com/news/music/elton-john-joined-by-dave-grohl-billie-joe-armstrong-and-more-for-live-coronavirus-relief-concert-2637350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactiveposter Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 A little tone deaf both literally and figuratively. Concert telethons are proven ways to raise money for charities, political parties, etc. But in the past, those watching had employment and the resources to donate. In the US, people have been waiting for their representative clowns to broker a bill that will get them money to live on. I’m sure donating is not at the top of many people’s list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to remember, that half the people are of below average intelligence, of that group half of them again are below the average intelligence... and so on... until we have people who struggle to comprehend what they are reading...

The unemployment rate might be 20 percent but there are still plenty of people that still have income from working. Also as all the normal places to go out to spend money are closed in much of the world … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with his horrible dead ex, who pushed Hutchence into a horrible place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
