If you want a political benefit, does anyone remember the Oakland Coliseum
benefit (78,79?) to fight the "corporate causes of cancer".  That was
Jane Fonda's cause.  She was there telling us that she was going to go
stick it to these evil companies with our ticket money.  Bad for the
head!!  We did get to watch "fun with Dick and Jane" before the concert,
but that was little compensation.

I think that Bob Weir said then that it was nice to have some fun
and do some good at the same time.  They probably didn't even know
very much about what the cause was about.  They were just happy to
be doing "some good".  These are my observations only, of course.
