An Old School Perspective on the Financial Future of Gen X and Y | submitted by Michael Gay

Banking on the "Band from TV": Local nonprofit takes unusual risk to secure its future
This is a great cause, but there is too much riding on this band. They are selfish. A group of b-list (at best) celebrities demand way too much for this performance.

Banking on the "Band from TV": Local nonprofit takes unusual risk to secure its future
The band is amazing and they give all the proceeds to charities - they aren't asking for purple M&M's or anything crazy!
