ReAct Now Concert
I'm at work now, lending a hand to the MTV/VH1/CMT Katrina Benefit Concert website. I'll be here 'til at least 2 AM, but it's for a good cause. Hopefully we'll get some free Red Bull up in the joint.
It's quite a line-up...
The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Kanye West, Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney, Alan Jackson, 3 Doors Down, Kelly Clarkson, Brian Wilson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Melissa Etheridge, The Neville Brothers, Trent Reznor, Cash Money's Baby, Motley Crue, Simple Plan, Dashboard Confessional, Goo Goo Dolls, Staind, Good Charlotte, Audioslave, Common, John Mayer, Marc Broussard, Maroon 5, The Radiators, Ludacris, Green Day, Usher, Alicia Keys, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews Band, Rob Thomas, David Banner, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, Coldplay, Hank Williams, Jr., Jon Stewart, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Allen Toussaint, Bon Jovi, Elton John, Fiona Apple, Big & Rich, Emmylou Harris, Buckwheat Zydeco, Dennis Quaid, Sugarland, George Lopez, Beck, Jewel, Chris Thomas King...and the setlist is killer. There's paparazzi outside, though I'm not sure why -- most of the performances are being taped elsewhere.
Anyway, tune in and make a donation if you can! I hope Neil and Skynyrd bury the hatchet.

Cheers, Scott! Good lookin' out on the relief assistance tip.
I posted an essay on The Arcade Fire's performance with Bowie (!) on "Fashion Rocks" (which awkwardly shoe-horned Red Cross in out of last-minute celebrity guilt) last night:

Did anyone else think that Kelly Clarkson's cover of Ray LaMontagne's "Shelter" was great?! I heard it coming from the other room and I ran in to see who it was singing it, and I was amazed at how good she did it!
