18. Dammit.....Randy made me cry....

Strange thing...I first heard that tune on his "Good Old Boys" album
in the early seventies...brought a tear to my eye then, even though it had no special meaning.......music is eternal I guess.

[stlsaxman]

[Sydnie]

7. I can't stop crying - hearing Cameron talk about that brave little boy

Neil Young is such a treasure.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[MuseRider]

9. Lovely song

Neil Young. Boy, now I really really feel old. I have not seen him in years. Still singing away and it is just lovely.

[zapp]

10. Chris Rock: George Bush Hates Midgets

hmmmm joke, or mocking?

[babylonsister]

20. Are you sure he said midgets? I thought I heard the n-word,

which I refuse to repeat.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. I thought I heard it too, and posted a separate thread, but then was told

I misheard.

[babylonsister]

35. Phew! Thanks, Ommm. Maybe we were expecting

him to pull a fast one!:)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. I have been hoping someone so far would babylonsister. Right

now it seems like the elephant in the room to me. People reading from the script and not speaking from their hearts.

Peace :)

[babylonsister]

47. The songs are good, as are the stories being told.

I'm enjoying an interlude from being angry! :D

[neonplaque]

21. did I hear him say that? ??

I was only half-listening while I was reading on the net.

[stevietheman]

12. Great remarks from Chris Rock! n/t

n/t

[RobertSeattle]

13. George Bush hates midgets

--- Chris Rock

:evilgrin:

[Sydnie]

14. Did Chris Rock just say "Bush hates midgets"? n/t

[RoyGBiv]

16. Foo Fighters do CCR ...

Now THAT is interesting...

[MuseRider]

25. Thanks I am too

fucking old to recognize some of these groups. Doesn't mean I don't like them but damn, I don't know a lot of them.

[RoyGBiv]

46. Me too, mostly ...

But I discovered the Foo Fighters in the 90's when they formed, and I've been a fan ever since. Ya just gotta pay attention to a band that uses an early SNL performance to play a song called "For All The Cows." :-)

[MuseRider]

61. HaHa

you are right about that. I liked them so thanks for letting me know who they were.

[JimmyJazz]

17. You go CHRIS! Nice explanation as to why people didn't

"leave when they had the chance" :bounce:

[HEAVYHEART]

19. Holy shit!

Born on the Bayou! Is that foo fighters???? damn!

[stlsaxman]

22. Born on the bayou!!!

who is this??? nice job!

right- Foo Fighters!

nice job!

[Gabi Hayes]

27. where's John Fogerty??????

[Gabi Hayes]

30. maybe they're saving him to sing Fortunate Son?

I wish

[zapp]

34. THAT would be nice

[phusion]

32. John Fogerty's not from the Bayou

he's born and raised California. :)

[Gabi Hayes]

37. really? you're kidding me! what does that have to do with it?

btw, those shots of the kids asking for help are heartbreaking

[phusion]

41. Nothin' to do w/ it

I guess...Just bored and posting useless BS! :+

I wish I had TV so I could tune into this...

[Gabi Hayes]

56. sorry....cranky......you just missed Mariah Carey, IOTW, not much

Paul Simon on now....can't sing anymore, apparently

[Gabi Hayes]

23. Dave Grohl: Born on the Bayou

got the words wrong

[WiseButAngrySara]

24. Oh good! I found it....n/t

[zapp]

26. Who is doing CCR...Born on the Bayou?

[zapp]

29. duh

[stlsaxman]

36. I love the fact that there are no crowds

makes it so intimate

[neonplaque]

38. Tasteful - no intros or names used

No self-promotion of the celebs.

[zapp]

39. Jennifer Aniston....sweet

[zapp]

49. Paul Simon!!

amazing....

[blonndee]

She did really well. Looked angry, and used the word "commandeered."

I'm sure the main intent was to praise the heroes, but that word might remind people that they were on their own.

[ms liberty]

43. Oh dear...Mariah "I know how to perform a trill!" Carey...

She just annoys the bejeezus outta me

[Patsy Stone]

44. Mariah Scary!

Hitting those notes only your dog can hear. :) Six ways to crazy...

[MuseRider]

45. I am on mute for this one.

At least she is there but gack...I can't stand her voice.

[KittyWampus]

48. I'm sorry, but me too. Vocal pyrotechnix don't impress

edit- maybe i just jealous

[lildreamer316]

50. YAY Paul Simon! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

52. Paul Simon! My first true love... n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

60. Big smile here :) nt

[shadowknows69]

53. FUCKING PAUL SIMON

awesome.

[MuseRider]

54. My all time favorite.

Damn, glad I got the mute button off in time.

[Sydnie]

55. Paul Simon - perfect song with the perfect tempo for this show n/t

[KyndCulture]

57. Ahhhh Paul Simon... now i'm crying like a baby... nt.

[Patsy Stone]

66. The Jazz Band just made me well up. n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

58. The background of Newman's song

in 1927, to save the wealthy enclaves and the French Quarter, engineeers dynamited the levees downstream Caernarvon, Louisiana and sent 250,000 ft³/s (7,000 m³/s) of water pouring through, flooding the poorer parts of Louisiana. This prevented New Orleans from experiencing serious damage but destroyed much of the marsh below the city. As it turned out, the destruction of the Caernarvon levee was unnecessary. Unless, then as now, you were a large politically influential corporate interest threatened by things.

5:35 p.m.
The Dixie Chicks (oh, George Bush wouldn't approve, but so what) sing a country ballad.

[babylonsister]

63. Oooh, yes. I am THERE!

Nice to hear some 'local' tunes!

[FreedomAngel82]

[babylonsister]

70. Dixie Chicks' song is perfect! nt

[notadmblnd]

71. does anyone think that the FIC is even watching

[Libby2]

72. Chicks Rock !!!!!!!!!

[Sydnie]

83. Me too

:cry: :hug:

[spooky3]

84. same here

[DURHAM D]

90. Me too - cried with the chicks. Partly because of the shit

they got from their fans after the anti-Bush comment.

[getmeouttahere]

86. Gotta believe Jack Black spoke from the heart!

Jack Rocks! You got a roof over your head, you ARE doing a lot better than most of the world!

[tallahasseedem]

88. Jack Black...

It looks like he wanted to say a whole lot more about this situation.

[lildreamer316]

89. A guess--Take 6 with Rod Stewart?

[tonyraytx]

91. Too old

to be take 6

[Patsy Stone]

93. There are only five of them

There are six in Take Six, no?

[lildreamer316]

94. DUH. I'm blonde; sorry.

[babylonsister]

99. Tee-

hee.

:rofl:

[quispquake]

100. I think it was "The Persuasions"

Acapella band that's been around forever...they released an album on Zappa's label in the sixties!!!

[Contrary1]

105. I think it might have been "The Impressions"

They recorded "People Get Ready" back in '65.

[babylonsister]

92. People Get Ready-Rod Stewart and crew-awwwww!

Reminds me of Eva Cassidy-great song - hymn?

[DanCa]

95. When did rod stewart start looking like Barr y Mannilow? (nt)

[BobMorr]

96. Class-thanks Rod

Rod Stewart does the gospel thing. Did you know that Rod has to pay $2 million for missing a Las Vegas performance. Maybe he can convince the casino to donate the missing money to Katrina victims instead. That way everybody wins. Somehow, I doubt the casino will go for that, but it's a thought

[Fleshdancer]

97. oh fuck. She's really gone. New Orleans is gone.

I can't believe this.

[malaise]

98. Here's my Curtis Mayfield classic

People get ready there’s a train coming
Don’t need no ticket you just get on board
All you need is faith to open the door and board on
Don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord


This train don’t carry no liars, this train
This train don’t carry no liars, this train
This train don’t carry no liars
No short dresses or midnight riders This train don’t carry no liars, this train

[lildreamer316]

[stlsaxman]

[Gabi Hayes]

102. beat me...never mind

[ticapnews]

106. Does Kanye's mic keep cutting out...
