I don't know anything about this concert but I'm raising money for the Achilles Freedom Team by running the NYC Marathon. I didn't get in via the lottery so I'm doing it this way. The money goes to the Achilles Track Club which coaches combat-wounded veterans of the Iraq war in marathon training and other sports. Not a bad way to help those who've just recently lost a leg in a pointless war.
Is this another backhanded way of criticizing what we're doing in the mid-east by fronting as a fundraiser? Or is it really a fundraiser to support our troops over there?
If it's benefiting the USO, I'd guess it's going to actually benefit the troops. Achilles has done a good job helping disabled athletes of all kinds. so with these two organizations involved I think it'll definitely help the troops or returning vets.
Well, the 100's section will be general admission which tells me it won't be Joan Baez or Mellencamp
