It was quite an interesting collection of the formerly famous.

And then there was Neil Young's song about how all roads lead to God. WOW was that an eye-opener! "God Made Me" I think was the actual name of the song.

Re: On Not having a television

I actually watched the "Shelter From the Storm" benefit show. To be honest, 80% of the songs sung were slow gospel type of songs. Rod Stewart even sang a song about the Gospel Train. Can't remember what it's actual name was, but have heard it before. Many singers used the name of Jesus in prayerful ways while singing. I was pleasantly surprised that so many used either Jesus's name or sang to God prayerfully.

It wasn't showy, with audience or anything like that. It was just the singers getting up there before a camera, singing their song and then it would go to a person who spoke a little about Katrina.

I think they actually did a very good job and hope that a lot of money that will benefit Katrina survivors was raised.

I think the old Bell H-13s and Hiller H-23s(?) (the ones you see before every episode of MASH) are just the coolest things ever. I'd love to have one parked out front, but even if I could afford it, the FAA would never let someone with my eyesight off the ground.

I could find better use of my time.
Perhaps by poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.

YEOWCH! Funny, but... YEOWCH!

Re: On Not having a television

We watch the military channel a lot. Cuz of the helicopters, of course. Ho hum.

Re: On Not having a television

It's also one of the benefits of having 200 channels. There's usually something worthwhile on somewhere. The trick is to find it. If nothing else is on, the Military Channel always has something of interest to a history buff.

I think I can find the Salvation Army without the help of Kanye West.

One of the advantages of not having a television!
