PEOPLE NEED OUR HELP

Life can change pretty quickly.

For residents of the gulf coast, it went from a storm coming, to a big storm coming, to one of the worst disasters the US has ever seen, in a matter of days.

Try to imagine the impact, if you can. One day life is normal, the next day everything you have, from your personal items to your car to your entire neighborhood, is gone. Gone.

It will be months before there's even a shred of normalcy, and things will certainly never be the same.

When New York was attacked, our neighbors helped us out. Now it's our turn.

I urge everyone, regardless of their means, to make a donation. Even if it means not having those couple of beers tonight, or waiting another week to pay that bill.

People need our help. I don't think it's possible to understand the impact of this storm - these people are no longer evacuees, they're refugees. And things are getting worse, as the waters continue to rise.

Whatever you can do to help, do it.

Another cause for TEDSTOCK? I'm sure the Autism folks won't mind not being the only charity present.

I think that's a good idea.

Perhaps Jackson Live Productions should organize a charity show, all proceeds to go to disaster relief.

There's got to be somewhere to do it... who's got suggestions?

I don't think it would be any trouble finding bands to play.
