is there something evil about being able to somehow raise big cash to help a charity cause ??? ("a FEW cats and dogs???") Good for them, they know how to work the system !!! you need MONEY sweety to do anything in this world. I love the Stones, and i've paid pretty big bucks to see them, and they aren't no charity baby, but that's okay :-) Although when i saw the stones in Boston I paid $400 to the Boston Blind Association for a ticket in front of KEITH, and I would say that was definitely a win-win situation - i helped a bunch of blind people, and i got to be at the rail in front of KEITH.
