Blind Item #6 - Kindness

I don't know if this foreign born permanent A+ list singer/musician from a top 3 all-time group does this at every show or not, but at a recent show he did something nice for a large group of visually impaired people. I will let the recipient of it tell it in her own words.

"We went to the concert last night. It was a big secret because it was free for our group. We were told it was because they were undesirable seats where the sound was great but the stage was out of range, perfect for the visually impaired. THEY LIED! We were dead center, 9 rows up from the floor! Probably the best seats! Also we got waved through security, not even wanded! And we were in VIP parking. I just found out today that our tickets were courtesy of ________________________! He wanted visually impaired and blind people to be able to attend show, so he gave our group the opportunity! "

    or Mick J?
    Don't know who the third all time band would be, The Police? Genesis? The Who?

    I hope it's not Bono, because the "all-time" thing is wrong.

    To me the biggest band of all time, and not necessarly the best, are

    Beatles

    Rolling Stones

    Who

    and i think the musician is Paul MacCartney, since i think he is the one, and likely only, now currently on tour

    Hard to imagine Mick Jagger doing a good deed...

    I'll go with Bono.

    Oh, damn, i forgot my beloved Pink Floyd!

    Ok, i take away The Who from my list


    So, Beatles

    Rolling Stones

    Pink Floyd

    ( and i can see Davide do this, he is a kind albeit not naive soul , still hippie deep inside )

    I would say Led Zep over the Who.

    Final Answer: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, currently touring.

    Billboard lists Springsteen as the top group front man of all time. List of 25 includes everyone mentioned above.

    you are ABSOLUTLY right, i often confuse them in names

    So, Bruce or Paul

    But i remeber that someone told me that Bruce ALWAYS does charity things, while touring, so i think him

    ( well, i am a fickle, on this thread )

    Maybe if the list of top 3 bands of all time was created in NJ. (This is something he would do and not publicize it but doubt it is the right answer for this blind)

  15. Lurky McLurkster1:36 AM

    Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
    Bon Jovi

    PAUL MACCARTNEY, Period.

  17. Lurky McLurkster1:52 AM

    He was born in NJ so I guess that would depend on who you ask what is foreign born

    It says foreign born. I'd guess Paul McCartney.

    Yes, we know. Settle down

    Genesis or The Police as top 3??? I do not think so.

    It's Beatles, Rolling Stones and either Zeppelin or The Who.

    I'm pretty sure this is McCartney. I read a story about him doing something like this. Good for you. Sir Paul!

    Eddie Vedder-Pearl Jam

    Eddie Vedder-Pearl Jam. He's the coolest dude.

  26. ZIlla13:21 AM

    Vedder was born in Chicago. This is about a foreign born musician. Not him.

  27. Bono. He's supposedly going blind himself. He's had vision problems for most of his adult life. I wouldn't put them as top 3, but it's Enty so he's probably saying they're top 3 because he met Bono once and he was really nice to him.

    It says foreign born, moron. Your daily idiocy makes me long for Derek.

    It's McCartney

    Touring without Clarence Clemons (RIP). I've seen them a dozen times but always with Clarence. It's going to be pretty weird.

    You didn't need to calm down before but after whining like that about it, now you do.

    Top three rock bands of all time - Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones. I love the Who and Pink Floyd but no.

    Led Zep's not together or touring, the Stones are but Mick would rather die than give away a slew of tickets so that leaves Sir Paul.

    Macca for the win.

    Bon Jovi ranked pretty high on Billboard's list too.
    I have no frickin idea who this is, McLurkface.

    That makes sense. I had trouble with the all time top 3 thing, but not as much trouble as I had with reading comprehension yesterday. I think the vision problem is key.
