We Can All Make a Difference If We Just Stand Up

Dear Michelle:

Please join me by tuning in this Friday, September 5, at 8 p.m. (EST) to catch Stand Up to Cancer on ABC, CBS and NBC. This first of its kind one-hour telecast will feature celebrities from film, television, sports, journalism and music coming together to raise money for cancer research. The Lance Armstrong Foundation supports this effort to raise awareness and funds for the cancer fight and Lance Armstrong will participate in the telecast.

Inspired to act by their own personal experiences with cancer, the Stand Up to Cancer team recognizes that we can no longer rely on the current system alone to give us the breakthroughs we need. They are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientists and clinicians work to understand and treat cancer. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward.

The money raised during this event will go toward building "Dream Teams" made up of scientists, clinicians, technicians and other experts who will focus on a specific cancer problem. Funds will be administered by the American Association for Cancer Research, the largest scientific organization in the world focusing on high-quality, innovative cancer research.

I am inspired by what Laura Ziskin, movie producer and cancer survivor, has put together with her team at Stand up to Cancer and I know this will make a huge impact.

cheese101 - You aren't supposed to post that video... :-( I was so close, yet so far...

You said you live near the Musician's Institute, right? Have you made your way down to Sunset Blvd. at all? There are a few cool music-related things worth seeing there...Amoeba Music, the Rock Walk at the Guitar Center, and the Rainbow Bar & Grill, not to mention a bunch of famous music venues that are worth at least driving by.

You should check them out the next time you have a free afternoon...or drop me an email and I'll spend a day showing you around, if you'd like.

Do you know if you'll be able to make it to the Satch show at the Wiltern?

Thanks Wooleyman, will check them out - I am in awe of people with that sort of talent.

You play?

If ever get the Great Mass Satch Jam off the ground I'd be happy to have special guests jam from o/s :0)

Tone is infinite. Nobody can be the infinite. But we get the possibility of an idefinite research where dream connects with reality.

Guitar tone is the identity of the guitar player.

Revan, what did you think of the new Extreme Album? I liked it, I think it's got a very Led Zepplin vibe although I don't like the single 'stars'. I like the last few tunes the best. It's got those distinctive Bettencourt/sharone harmonies, but thank god there's no equivalent to 'More than Words' the song that killed a thousand Kareoke singers by sudden backlash from their paying audience.....

Satriella I emailed that thing about the exam results to everyone I know!

Please folks would you take the time to look at (and maybe comment on) a youtube page I've been working on on behalf of a band who wrote a song for my ex husband, who passed away last year. I'm dating the singer fromt the band, Kieran, although we haven't told anyone else yet - yes the internet is a funny place to keep a secret. I know.

Anyway, heres the link

Hi all,

Do The Stu - did you get my email about Super Colossal?

MIchelle - I've been there a lot in the last year with various family members, but not to the degree you and your pops are going through. But I understand, so continued good wishes from me. Oh, and there seemed to be a lot more tour shirts than that over here - a special one just for laydees too!

Igneousiceman - I thought I used to be keen on biking... I take it back! I tend to stick to roadwork, but do the occasional offroad for some fun. Ha, yeah, trunk monkey could be handy

nickguitarmeistro - cool, thanks, it's the one for me. You got any demo's up with it yet? Oh, and what amp/s guitar/s do you use?

Roo - this has the post I mentioned just here

Revan2008 - I think I know one person who told you there was a new extreme album.. and a tour ; ) which reminds me, must get it (came out while I was on hols so totally forgot) - thanks for the reminder!

Tuesdayschild - nice song, has an Ozzy vibe!? Good stuff

Hay Joe!@ Your new ALBUM is AWESOME!!! I relay relay like it. Well lets just say every body here IN SERBIA LIKES IT.So we out here miss you and all your FANS wants from you is a little favor. To fly to SERBIA AND KICK SOME ASS LIKE YOU DID IN 2006.

Cosmic ape : i used to play with a Fender Standard Strat 2006. I'm not unhappy with it.

Igneous : has studied philosophy during several years in university & got a teacher's formation, but realized this job was not for me. I still used to read philosophy books with lot of pleasure, even if my biggest pleasure is reading the great poets. & no, i don't think that i'm a philosopher.
