Give Willie some time! Larry Send a noteboard - 09/06/2010 05:30:19 AM
seriously? TI seems a lot of idiots are asking that question. She then went on to say that our government and celebrities gave more help to Haiti than the people int he gulf. Does it really take genius to figure out the difference between the earthquake in Haiti and an oil rig exploding? Mother nature is Responsible for one and BP is responsible for the other. There should not be any concerts to help the Gulf coast folks, we should however put a boot up BP's ass to pay the people with legitimate claims.


He and John Mellancamp (and sometimes Dylan) are the only entertainers I know that do performances for working-class Americans suffering from others' stupidity.
