Concerts can only really solve one problem...

... and that's a painfully acute deficit of rock.

"Raising awareness" is such a farce, so unquantifiable, and usually bullshit. How much awareness did you raise? Can you tell me that? I wish these concerts in support of causes would reverse the go-large trend and slim down by a wide margin. That might spare us seeing Kayne West trying to rap over Message in a Bottle. Or John Mayer playing along with Message in a Bottle.

Or having to endure a reunited Police sharing a stage with John Mayer and Kayne West. I swear. That's not a rock crime. That's a rock felony.
