"#FireAid’s corporate sponsors presumably underwrote the concert to demonstrate their bona fides as caring, public-spirited companies. Joining American Express, Kaiser Permanente and 20 other corporations were four banks—JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and US Bancorp—and a financial services company—Capital Group—whose [#FossilFuel] investments undermine the concert’s goal of preventing future fire disasters."

Money Trail · FireAid Sponsors are Bankrolling the Climate CrisisBy Elliott Negin

The surviving members of Nirvana — Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear — made a surprise appearance at last night's FireAid show, performing "Breed" with St. Vincent, "School" with Kim Gordon, "Territorial Pissings" with Joan Jett, and "All Apologies" with Violet Grohl, the 18-year-old daughter of Dave. Here's @RollingStone's story, including a video of the show.

See the second link for @AssociatedPress's story on the whole event, which was to raise money for Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods and other areas impacted by the L.A. wildfires.
