Good Deeds....

[qtlaw]

Unfortunately, bad news gets most of the attention. How about a good deed thread? Moddy shut it down if it doesn't make sense.

I'll start with Taylor Swift who just exited our neck of the woods after two jam packed shows of 60,000 each (I went with my two sons 8 yrs ago when she was here and she's a great performer (son was a huge fan then and client gave me free tickets to the suite)):

Taylor Swift Reportedly Gave Eras Tour Truckers $100,000 Bonus

Nice to see her, per the article, practice some "trickle down" economics.

Wow, that's great. Had some friends here in Microville who saw her in Seattle. Even the ones who were not real big fans (they accompanied their children) said she put on a fantastic show.

She's always done things like that.

We could dedicate an entire thread to Dolly Parton alone.

Way back in the day, Harry Chapin would donate his take from every second show he did to the local food bank. Good guy who died far too young.

I know she does awesome things for sure. I just wanted to get more feel good stuff out there.

 

[Brooklyn Bridge]

Wow, that's great. Had some friends here in Microville who saw her in Seattle. Even the ones who were not real big fans (they accompanied their children) said she put on a fantastic show.

I would totally take my kids to a TS concert. (Couldn't really afford it, but that's another story.)

I was the chauffeur for my daughter and a friend to TS in Cincinnati. Didn't go myself, but made a point of driving around the stadium during the show to see the thousands who were listening and dancing outside for three-plus hours. Impressive.

 

[MileHigh]

She made a donation when she was here to Food Bank of the Rockies that will provide 75,000 meals for families in need.

I remember reading that the Trans Siberian Orchestra held a two-week training camp in a small town in Indiana before their Christmas tour one year. The best place to eat was a Chili's and they went there almost every meal. When they were packing up to leave, the road manager went to the Chili's and gave the manager a $25,000 check to share among the wait staff.

Bo Jackson donated to pay for funerals for victims of Uvalde massacre
