Screw Art Garfunkel
Bob Weir
to sing "Bridge over troubled waters". What
a self centered SOB.

eachother. Did you hear that he was invited to perform and declined??
Funny you mentioned this. Throughout the whole song I was saying that it's
just not the same without Garfunkel.

that they really don't want to spend more time together. It's a shame
Paul chose that song (which is brilliant nonetheless but is really a
duet) when he could have chosen one from his own remarkable post-S&G
bag of tunes.
My favorite moment: Neil Young singing Imagine.
Least favorite moment: Willie Nelson not knowing when to stop.
I wonder how much money was raised?

Water. Simon just didn't give it the intensity I think alot of people
would have liked. How about Ray Charles? That would have been heart
stopping. Maybe some chick like Ani DiFranco or that broad from Cowboy
Junkies who even looks like Art Garfunkel...over even Moesha with her
big round balloon head.
I think as admirable as their efforts were, there was an overall
dullness to the music, hey needed a few more younger acts, and maybe
some more original tunes from the real passionate songwriter's of the
country.
And where the hell was Mark Harris?

It was the perfect song, he just doesn't have the voice to carry it. The hell
with Garfunkel: just get SOMEBODY up there to sing it with you. It could've
been REALLY powerful.

Agreed and agreed, even though I don't like "Imagine" at all. Neil Young is THE
MAN! I mean, just look at CSN's pathetic appearance on Leno, and then Neil
Young's "Imagine" last night, and it's friggin' night and day. Most of the time
it's a disaster, or at least a mistake, when somebody leaves a band to go solo,
but leaving CSN was the best thing he ever did.
Willie Nelson's the guy you bring out at the end? That was such a bad choice,
and such a surreal moment. To see all of those celebrities half-singing, Keanu
Reeves with a harmonica, Mariah Carey's bizarre harmonizing: just too weird.

their late 60's - early 70's stuff is great but you are dead on about the Leno
performance
> Mariah Carey's
she's got more chin's than the chinese phone book now, but she can still stop
by and cook me dinner
>I wonder how much money was raised?
i heard the latest total topped 100 million

Oh yeah..........I also saw Paul <shudder> I just finished writing to a
Jello thread what I saw of this show. I missed the beginning and middle, but
saw the end. Paul had to have been the worst of the performers that I saw.
I'll bet that Lucy Liu, for the closing number, kept on key better then Paul
did. I'm sure that Michael Keaton and Goldie Hawn-ey outshined him. He was
just plain off-all.

. . . "You're acting like the Fuhrer (sp?) from Germany"
I bet that queen was scratching and clawing to get onto that telethon:
"I'm Mr. Big Mouth, the widower of the late, great Martha Rae, who served her
country in war-time, with the likes of Bob Hope and Moms Mabley, and I
desperately seek a meeting with the conservators of this wonderful event . . . "
