I saw a small part of it.  There was a buttload of people singing and
playing with
Roger in Central Park in New York.  I saw them do "Ruby Tuesday".  However,
some black guy (I'm sure he's probably well known but I hate that kind of
music and
didn't recognize him) was singing and Roger was standing with the choir.
They had
watered down the music considerably to sound like a pop/ballad - much like
something
Shitney Houston or Celine Douchbag would do.  It was a very bleak moment for
rock and quite
horrible.  I felt so bad for Roger becuause they were obviously mangling this
wonderful rock classic.  It really pissed me off.  In fact, Roger looked pretty
embarrassed for himself.  I am glad to hear that he loves L/Z and respects
Robert.  That makes me feel a little better about today's smack in the face of
Rock-n-Roll.

Blessed Be,
Julee
