Paul and Ringo Reunite at Radio City

0309mccartney.jpg The remaining Beatles will be regrouping for one night only this spring to headline a benefit concert in NYC. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will take their two-man act to Radio City Music Hall on April 4th in the name of the David Lynch (yes, that one) Foundation, which "provides funds to teach students how to meditate so they can change their world from within." Rolling Stone points out this is right up their alley, or at least it would have been decades ago when the Fab Four traveled to India to visit with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Discussing the benefit, McCartney touched on his meditation practices, saying “In moments of madness, it has helped me find moments of serenity." Joining them in the transcendentalfest are Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Moby and many more (including appearances by Russell Simmons and Laura Dern). Tickets on sale starting March 9th.

    Aren't these entertainers insanely rich? Why aren't we confiscating some of their income? Better yet, why don't these cheap fucks open up their wallets and make a cash donation is this is such a worthy cause?

  • I agree. Aren't there better things to have a benefit for? Or should we meditate ourselves out of this economic mess?

    It's not like they can do another Shea Stadium gig.

    How about a concert to promote War Crime Trials for GW Bush? We could call it the "I want to hold your hand ..cuff" Concert.

    I guess John will be skipping the concert, but will YOKO be there? I don't care if she doesn't show up naked. She's so so hot. NOT!

  • Felix Hoenikker

    But will they play the 'brown note'?

  • barryap

    I'd prefer a benefit concert for something that's proven to actually help people -- say, medical science -- but whatever.
