If anything interesting happens, eight dozen people will post about it instantly in GD.

[johnnie]

3. True

But what the hell?

[JimmyJazz]

39. no shit!

I've already posted to several people to please look at the front page before posting. It's stoopid. Oh and, in case you didn't know, Chris Rock said Bush hates midgets. :P

2. Randy Newman doing Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They’re tyrin’ to wash us away
They’re tryin’ to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They’re tryin’ to wash us away
They’re tryin’ to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, “Little fat man isn’t it a shame
What the river has done
To this poor crackers land.”

[xmas74]

8. Morgan Freeman quoting Faulkner.

Great choice.

[HeeBGBz]

9. I can't stop crying

I suck.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help all those left in that shredded part of the country.

[johnnie]

11. Strange how the entertainers are always told to shut up

But are always the first to help with a cause like this.

[HeeBGBz]

22. I'm glad they are doing this

Even if only for the music.

[Guaranteed]

53. I know. Geez. I was getting all choked up after Newman

and then U2. I'm pathetic.

[pinkpops]

15. who was that?

Wild

[xmas74]

[Chichiri]

19. Cameron Diaz is talking about Daumonte Love

Remember that kid?

[nytemare]

23. Did Chris Rock just say George Bush doesn't care about midgets?

:shrug:

[johnnie]

25. Yup..lol

:shrug:

[zippy890]

33. he's having fun with censors

I expect

[pinkpops]

29. HATES midgets

[nytemare]

31. LOL!

How did that get past the drop button!

[LynneSin]

41. Oh fuck, he might as well just say the "N" word

Midget is a very offensive term to those people who are short on stature because that is the term that was used back during the Circus 'freak' shows in the early 1900.

That'll get a lot of shit!

[HeeBGBz]

24. Ooh, Chris Rock said it

George Bush hates N------s. Did I just hear that?

[johnnie]

27. Midgets

[HeeBGBz]

32. I'll have to rewind

I heard something different.

[captain beyond]

26. "g.bush hates midgets."

w.t.f.

[xmas74]

38. I read that this show is on a thirty second time delay.

He might be trying to be silly or funny. Or maybe it is a jokey sort of code between his friends and family.

(on edit-I forgot to Welcome you to DU!)

[johnnie]

40. I read

The standard 7 seconds.

[xmas74]

44. Just read it a couple of hours ago on yahoo.

I think it was AP link. Supposedly a last minute decision (because of Kanye West last week).

(on edit-found link but it's not working right now on here. It's Reuters, not AP.
And on the front page of yahoo under entertainment about it not benefit not being about politics)

[last_texas_dem]

28. Foo Fighters doing "Born on the Bayou"

Cool choice.

[johnnie]

30. And an excellent band

[last_texas_dem]

37. Agreed

One of my favorites to come out of the last ten years.

[tjdee]

34. I just saw Adrien Brody!!!!!!

That is my contribution to this thread. I already donated to the Red Cross, ARGH....too bad I can't call up and be like Adrien....when shall we get married.... :silly:

On a more serious note, Chris Rock wanted to say more, you can tell. I thought what he said was great, about the people not being able to go to a fine hotel because they work there. :(

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

[johnnie]

55. Okay

This Rod Stewart doing People get ready this way is pretty cool.

[Guaranteed]

56. KANYE ON NOW NT

[mark0rama]

57. Is he "bleeping" himself on some of his lyrics?

I noticed a few unexpected pauses right in the middle of a few lines, but it didn't sound like he was bleeped from the control room.

[HeeBGBz]

58. They're censoring the hell out of this

Wish I knew what he said. Is this Kanye?

[mark0rama]

60. Dr. John!!!! *NT*

[HeeBGBz]

61. Is that Dr. John?

Bless his beautiful heart.

[hippiechick]

62. Unscientific observation ...

... but it seems like a vast majority of the folks involved in this were those dayum Hollywood Libruls ... and they were singin' sorta leftie songs, too if you paid close attention to the lyrics ...

:yourock:

[BensMom]

63. Not long enough

When is the MTV concert?
