Re: Concert for New York

Hillary was booed more. I was surprised that Richard Gere, who is usually pretty articulate when he is sharing his Buddhist believes, had a hard time making his point with the attendees. 
It was pretty obvious, from the crowd's emotive reaction to the war talk, that his comments would bomb. On the other hand, Susan Sarandon, who has similar views, chose not to discuss them and kept he comments about celebrating the heroes.
I thought the Kevin Smith piece was pretty funny; and played late enough into the program that most kids were probably asleep.

> I don't know who got booed more ??? Hillary or Richard Gere ?? At least even Bill received a more respectful reception.  I'm just surprised that the only technical snafu was Melissa Etherdige's mike dying on her. If there was only two disappointments to the night, it was Kevin Smith's swearing exhibition in his film about New Jerseyians staying in the city to help and Paul McCartney singing that " Freedom " song twice that nobody knows. It's not as if he didn't have other songs he could have chosen from.
