SARS benefit concert to rock world
By ROB GRANATSTEIN -- Toronto Sun
The organizers of July's SARS benefit concert are on the verge of striking a deal with two broadcasters that would open the door to a worldwide TV and radio special on the Rolling Stones extravaganza in Toronto.
Sen. Jerry Grafstein and MP Dennis Mills are hopeful the whole world will want to spend the night together with Mick Jagger, AC/DC, Rush and friends, helping further push Toronto's reputation as a safe and SARS-free city.
"One concert on one day doesn't do it," Mills said. "We have to do more."
Grafstein and Mills said they've tentatively agreed to a deal with the CBC, joined by MuchMusic, to do an hour-long TV special featuring the best of the best of the concert that would be shown around the world.
The special would be a live-to-tape event that would be edited then shown in the weeks following the concert at Downsview Park.
Ten percent of the profit from the international rights for the TV special will go to hospitality and SARS workers, Mills said.
The Rolling Stones will get final say on the special, Mills said, and the concert producers have to raise all the costs to produce the TV special.
They are also in the process of setting up a two-hour worldwide radio show with Standard Broadcasting, Grafstein said.
The goal, though, remains to fill every hotel room in the Toronto-area for at least one night, he said. |

I'm not sure about all that....
But I CAN tell you of a concert that WILL NOT be televised this summer....
The Concert For Gingivitis being held August 23rd somewhere in Nebraska is expected to bring world wide attention to this silent and disgusting oral scourge.
Sadly, a major cable or network station has not picked it up yet.
The Who, Steely Dan, The Doors (without dead lead singer Jim Morrison, natch)and Peter Gabriel (without his career) are just some of the bands who have not only agreed to play but also are sufferers of this terrible disease.

Your gums will thank you!

Nebraska? Huh?
I love Nebraska!
Beautiful mountains and a swashbuckling port life.
And this:
What's the difference between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the
Taliban?
The Taliban has a running game.
What do the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Billy Graham have in
common?
They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell "Jesus Christ."
How do you keep a Nebraska Cornhusker player out of your yard?
Put up goal posts.
Where do you go in Lincoln in case of a tornado?
Memorial Stadium - they never get a touchdown there.
Why doesn't Omaha have a Div 1A football team?
Because then Lincoln would want one.
Why was Frank Solich upset when the Cornhusker playbook was
stolen?
Because he hadn't finished coloring it.
What's the difference between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and a
dollar bill?
You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.
What do you call 47 people sitting around a TV watching the College
Championships?
The Nebraska Cornhuskers.
What do the Nebraska Cornhuskers and possums have in common?
Both play dead at home and get killed on the road.
How can you tell when the Nebraska Cornhuskers are going to run
the football?
Diedrich leaves the huddle with tears in his eyes.
SHECKY!

OK SHECKY ..............................
So we had our first bad year in forty .
Still , on the night of September 13th , your young Joey will be inside Memorial Stadium watching intently as his beloved and , dare I say it , completely revitalized and rejuvenated Nebraska Cornhuskers pummel the Hell out of Joe Pa and his bedeviled Nitney Lions .
By the way ................What's a Nitney ???????

So we are all willing to pay good money to see Maxy watch Rush for an hour.
You guys coming? |

I saw Rush in, oh say, 1983.
The good: Neal Pert is a mind blowing drummer. Geddy Lee is a great bass player.
The bad: Geddy Lee's voice was painful! I'm pretty sure my dog was the only one hearing some of those sounds.
It was a young Maxy trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. They didn't do anything for me. I don't hate them but I just don't like them.
Now, Rush Limbaugh is another story! Man that guy is minty fresh and boy can he write a post!

Which I guess is fine.
