Astrojanitor Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Some of the acts may have been pretty far from their prime, but one thing's for sure: we'll never see another line-up like that again. Wish I would've been there. At least not until we have the concert to benefit victims of the zombie invasion that happens in two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I don't want this to be moved to PPP but I gotta say this is the perfect example of why we don't need to give so much money to the government. People will do the right thing and give money to help their fellow man. Oh and for those of you in that other thread saying how great a drummer Dave Grohl is I have to ask you. What are you thoughts about the muppet Animal? Edited December 13, 2012 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you thoughts about the muppet Animal? unfortunately, much like the government, money given to this likely wont be the most efficient of answers. better than nothing, but im guessing from past events we would be thoroughly disappointed how much actually makes it to the ground level on the coast.

This is true, but if I give money to a charity that has a history of wasting money that's my fault or I can do my research and give my money to an efficient cause which there are tons of. I have no such choice with my tax dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 What exactly is McCartney playing there? My best guess is it's a four string cigar box resonator. Never actually seen one, just heard about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Robin Hood foundation is usually pretty good about getting the bulk of the mobey on the ground. Also to keep in mind, this is 2 months after the storm. By the time money gets to the people it will be another couple months. But for this storm the government was getting things done before Sandy even passed. They did a great job on this one. This wasn't a Katrina debacle, this was an example of the government truly rising to the needs of the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to pay more attention to your government "rising to the needs of the people." http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/12/13/15884696-hurricane-sandy-relief-aid-already-in-jeopardy-in-congress?lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no such choice with my tax dollars. totally agree - i like choice - not to get too PPP over here. i was just chiming in, as someone that lives in a region that has had a national benefit concert for them in the not tooooo distant past. people do love to give though, and that was the core of your post and i agree fully that for as much bickering as we do, we generally do pull together as a country in moments of need.

Gugny Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Really intrigued by this instrument!! 4-string cigar box guitar (CBG) that you want to tune in an "Open G" (DGBD) or "standard guitar" (DGBE - the four "bottom" strings of a standard 6-string guitar) tuning. Open G is a great setup for slide (fretless) playing, and the standard guitar tuning is great for a fretted instrument - you can play the "top" portion of most guitar chords with just a couple of fingers!

Chef Jim Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 And just because you like to rant about the government it still doesn't mean they don't actually do good from time to time Sorry to bring politics in to this. I have started a thread on PPP to discuss that. Come on over......if you have the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
