Legendary artist Shepard Fairey, who designed the exclusive poster for the event, will be a guest DJ, and Kate Flannery of ”The Office“ will deliver a hilarious musical comedy routine with her ironic lounge act,The Lampshades.
Taylor, hot off his recent book tour for the New York Times bestseller “Seven Deadly Sins”, is currently in the middle of a very successful and almost entirely sold-out acoustic tour. He said, “In a time when money is suspect, and politics looks a lot like schoolyard bullying, people forget that there are far greater issues going on in the world. One of which is the fact that millions of people live without water on a daily basis when we as Americans treat it like used tissue paper. It’s only common sense to think that if I can do something to not only help, but also raise awareness, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
“Drop in the Bucket is one of the most important and selfless causes I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. And I can only hope that I do some good for it. And to be able to do that by putting on an awesome show with friends like Roy Mayorga, Scott Ian and John 5 just shows how good this business can be sometimes!”
Rollins, a renowned musician, author and punk rock icon, has worked closely with Drop In The Bucket, traveling to Africa last year to see its work on the ground first-hand. “Drop In The Bucket is trying to make things better,” says Rollins. “There’s no profit incentive here. It’s only about getting people to water and keeping them alive and healthy.”
Funds raised at the event will be used to expand Drop In The Bucket’s vital programs into the northern region of Bahr el Ghazal region of SouthSudan. This area is on the verge of a major humanitarian crisis due to the sudden influx of returnees coming from North Sudan following South Sudan’s recent independence.
Tickets will be available for pre-sale purchase at $25 through Ticketmaster at and at the door for an increased price with availability pending.
Drop In The Bucket believes we can help create a world in which children are safe, healthy, educated and free from fear. And they believe that the key to achieving those ends is clean water and sanitation.

Okay so you know that we have had numerous crazy changes on Facebook for the past few years. Every time it happens, everyone starts complaining and became irate with all the changes. The addage, "If it ain't broke... don't fix it" became synonomous with Facebook Makeovers.... Here is what I think...
Yes, Facebook is free and some are saying, "If you don't like it, don't use it". That is not as easy as one thinks, since Facebook has provided so many with great times connecting with old friends, keeping up to date with family members and to feel part of a community of friends. Whatever the need, it was satisfied at the time by Facebook. It was like an addiction was created and every time they changed, we had to look at our addiction square in the face and decide if it was worth itm. Most of the time; it was and we crippled along to learn the new settings.
I think Facebook has been making minor and some major changes for a while now in order to do one thing... They stress the point their service is FREE and will remain Free but I think they are going to launch out some form of "Premium Paid Subscription" so for those that want to CONTROL what they write, comment, who they view, the amount of friends, the game application requests, etc. THEY will be allowed to do it for a monthly fee.
Today, after getting frustrated with the fact that I have to watch over 3000 friends' every move on the right hand side of the page to include who is friends with whom, who said what to who on their own comments, who like what page, etc. I said to myself "IF I could control my own page, I WOULD PAY!!!". I would pay a nominal subscription fee of maybe $5 per month in order to use Facebook the WAY I WANT TO. So I think, that is what is on the horizon... If not, it should be and Mark Zuckerberg can send me a six figure check for implementing it!!
So, we will all so but for now, we will learn how to tweak the changes and make it more user friendly by reading other's suggestions on how to revert back to the old facebook. For now, I leave you with this TIP:
ATTENTION ALL FRIENDS ******* Please do me a favor and move your mouse over my name here, wait for the box to load and then move your mouse over the "Subscribed" link. Then uncheck the "Comments and Likes". I'd prefer my comments/likes on friends and families posts not be made public, Thank You! (I will do the same for you) You can also uncheck games! Then re-post this if you don't want your every single move posted on the right side in the "Ticker Box" for everyone to see!
Good Night and Good Luck Facebook Friends!!!
