Re: U2 & Gibson helping out around New Orleans with musical instruments...

...Absolutely this is the right thing to do. People NEED art in their lives. They need something beautiful that is of themselves. When I first heard of New Orleans being devastated, the first thing I thought of was the people. The second thing I thought of was the music. You can’t cut off musicians from their music for a protracted time without completely breaking the soul of New Orleans’ musical culture, altering it forever. For certain, it’s already going to be altered far more than enough - it can’t help but be. Yet NOW is the time for the music to come home - to help make the Big somewhat Easy again.
