Jeez pervez, I had no idea one concert could make so much money! You must be raking it in by now.
I would like to thank them for doing this.My father was treated at the Grossman Burn Center in 1992 after having hot cooking oil out of a deep fryer burn 60 percent of his body.Thanks to there amazing quality of care and excellance in dealing with burn victims he survied.They deal with victims from all over the World.
The Grossman Burn Center is an amzing place.They treated my Dad in 1991 after he suffered severe burns over 60 percent of his body.Thanks to there excellant care and experience in dealing with burn victims he survied.They are known all over the World and treat burn victims everywhere.I
I have loved this band since i was 10…12 years later and they are still my favorite band. These are good people doing the right thing!
Amazeadad and all around decent human being, Travis Barker. It's so sweet how he tweets about not being able to wait until he gets a couple of days free from touring so he can be with his "little humans". He "rounds up the troops for breakfast" and he "takes them to school" on his way out for a return to touring.
Aw, I went to this show for my birthday! They really rocked it, and when they announced this, it made me love them even more. Great band altogether! : )
That's an amazing thing to do. I live not too far from where the plane crashed and it was a devistating occurance. But one thing that I don't understand is, is with all of the money that celebs/musicians earn, why couldn't they donate more than that? $100k does not go very far these days. Especially with Obama in office.
WOOT!!!! Just makes me love these guys even more!
Any band whose members can go naked on stage can't be all bad. A wonderful thing to do on their part!
i went to this show. i'm from georgia and now live here in phoenix and hearing them say this seriously made my night. it was wonderful to hear that just buying a ticket to this concert might have helped someone back home!
