Love And The Bridge Concert

  Many artists do not exactly express their time in the spotlight in the best of ways,or in acts to trigger the lurking eyes of publicity. However, on the contrary, a numerous amount of musicians participate in extraordinary acts for the better, or good nature inside. For example, Jack Johnson, who worked for Kouhua Hawaii Foundation for planting, Pearl Jam who performed for the Global Citizen Festival, Coldplay who supported the War Child program,  and in this case Neil Young, a folk rock musician who each year he holds a concert, to raise money for The Bridge School Foundation.
  The Bridge is a school for children with complex needs and raises money for children to find ways to communicate, identify, or complete, the tasks we do normally, despite their disability. The reason Neil Young does this is to help those in need , also because his son, Ben, has cerebral palsy, a disorder as well.

 Every year in October, a number of artists gather and perform for this cause. Over the years Simon and Garfunkel, Eddie Vedder, Florence and The Machine, Coldplay, and Jimi Hendrix have played, and it is simply amazing to see the children, from this school sitting on stage laughing, smiling, and rocking out to the music.
   This year, actually last weekend I was at the concert this year. I did not know many of the artists, however it expanded the number of artists I have heard. I was so ecstatic about seeing Neil Young as he appeared on stage, with his wife. The whole concert is pretty much relaxed and acoustic, but so empowering, in the sense it makes you reflect on really what is in your life. The concert is  in a pretty large location, with half of the audience on the grass. I loved seeing the children, despite what they may not have, enjoying what they do, as the moon shined upon the cold, dark, grass brightly. Many got up and danced, as others sat with tea and coffee with their loved ones.
  The Bridge Concert, is truly a great experience with so much rich rock history, and I hope that its flow of love never stops.
