I agree 100%.  Nothin wrong with My Generation just because it mentions 
"die."  No one cares one bit about that- it was the defining song of the 60s 
and the Who's most recognizeable song (at least best known to the widest 
range of people- and most socially significant song).  Join Together is a 
great choice as well as Behind Blue Eyes (a must, I think).  How about I'm 
Free?  I think see me, feel me is a no-brainer, also.  would be shocked if 
they didn't put this in their set.  

the benefit is to augment what the government will provide and this money can 
avoid a lot of the red tape associated with govt. disaster relief and also 
lighten the burden on the govt so it can prosecute this war more effectively. 
 there's ur answer.
