Post a CommentGood one, Ranee. Reminds of me Live Aid back in 1985.
Thanks Ranee! I'm definitely going to check it out!
Thanks for helping to get the word out on this!
George is one of my favorite actors, both on the screen and in my dreams :)
Here's hoping they raise mountains of money...
I will definitely try to tune in and catch some of this, thanks!
Should be a good program...and surely for a good cause.
Good to let everyone know to watch this special show tonight!! Thanks :)
It's always a wonderful thing when celebrities use their powers for good instead of the greed and corruption that usually follows them around. And good for you giving it publicity! Way to go!
This is a great thing for these entertainers to do.
