telethon was all over television last night. Certainly its a good cause, the people of Haiti need much and yet part of me is always cynical about these celebrity driven telethons. I wonder why multi-millionaire artists wouldn’t simply write a check from their largesse and quietly help good things happen. They could avoid delays, production costs, salaries, all the expenses and send their help quickly and efficiently.
Ah, but no one would know, and that makes all the difference. The sad part is once the show is over their reward is already in hand and it will fade with the spotlights, still valuable, of course for the people of Haiti, but lost for eternity.
