Concert for Carolina

Musicians James Taylor, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and Billy Strings will headline a concert to benefit victims of Hurricane Helene. It will be held on October 26, 2024 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Hope the weather cooperates and that it is a sellout. Also hope it will be televised. May it be only the first of benefit performances for those struggling to get back to a safe and normal existence.

That's a long time away. Anything could happen with the weather in the next two weeks.

It might be necessary to add Florida as a recipient too. If another area is devastated, it doesn't seem right to just include one.

They should just donate, we don't need these musicians playing music so people buy tickets or albums so they look like the heroes.

Enough people will enjoy the music and donate to make it worthwhile I'm sure.

@willomenia. People are moved by music they enjoy and it puts them in a good mood, therefore, they're more likely to be generous.

@willomenia - Honestly, I can't get over the out and out cynicism of some people.

Music concerts have always been one of the ways to raise money for good causes: "LiveAid", "FarmAid", "One Love Manchester"...the list goes on and on.

Maybe, just maybe, these artists are using the gifts they've been given and the platforms they have to raise more money than one person alone could.

Ever think of that? It's a positive spin on things, rather than negative.

And, BTW, how do you know that they're not also donating privately? Answer: you don't.

@willomenia Good grief. Speak for yourself.

Did you feel the same for concerts for 9/11, Farm Aid, We Are the World, etc.?

What have YOU done??🙄
