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! "

Sir Paul?

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.

French girl said...

Bono /U2?

French girl said...

David Gilmore from Pink Floyd?

mariaj said...

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

Lurky McLurkster said...

Well, Sir Paul is tour so let's go with him

Sadie said...

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

I'll go with Bono.

mariaj said...

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 )

Lurky McLurkster said...

I would say Led Zep over the Who.

Kno Won Uno said...

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

Kno Won Uno said...

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

mariaj said...

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 )

Lurky McLurkster said...

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)

Lurky McLurkster said...

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
Bon Jovi
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

MysticChic said...

Not foreign born.

mariaj said...

PAUL MACCARTNEY, Period.

Lurky McLurkster said...

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

April said...

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

Lurky McLurkster said...

Yes, we know. Settle down

CindyC said...

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

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

mariaj said...

Why should i? I am just having fun, i don't need to calm down

sandybrook said...

+11,009

Zilla1 said...

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

Julie said...

Eddie Vedder-Pearl Jam

Julie said...

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

ZIlla1 said...

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

Rory said...

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.

Laura Palmer said...

On what planet?

Ivee said...

Bruce was born in the USA. :)

Kno Won Uno said...

Hahaha - drat! A perfectly good guess.....not so good.

Studio54 said...

Another vote for Sir Paul.

El Prez said...

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

It's McCartney

Malibuborebee said...

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

Malibuborebee said...

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

Malibuborebee said...

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.

Kno Won Uno said...

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

Kno Won Uno said...

I love you too, El Jefe.

Kno Won Uno said...

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.

Mr. Knowitall said...

The parking passes made me a little nervous....

mariaj said...

Except, i wasn't WHINING, i was joking, so you're wrong again, now how about YOU care about yourself, instead of trying to get my mood?
