  • i am referring to the hurricane relief benefit on pbs last night. who else watched? so many of my favorite folk were a part of it...toni morrison was jaw-droppingly brilliant. and i bet it raised a ton of money for the forgotten people. a really tastefully-executed benefit. if you missed it, i bet it will be shown again.
