Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Dont get me wrong. I think it's a beautiful thing to give back BUT I also think that this is a publicity stunt at its finest. Sending love to the children who benefit from this the most Edited March 9, 2017 by KellyGame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending love to the children who benefit from this the most What makes you think it is publicity stunt? I mean he seems genuine, and he even met with the governor to try and discuss funding etc?We live in a cynical time where every good deed is questioned etc. But it seems from the outside like a personal passion project that he seems interested in. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 His dad worked for Obama when he was a senator... I trust the motion knowing that.What I find exceptionally admirable is that with him being a independent artist, this is directly from his pockets, not labels or corporations. And hes NEW to this kind of success, money, & fame, and this was a early priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
