Peter Tosh got murdered at least 10 years ago. It was Wyclef. Who was wearing the NY Yankees hat doing the Pink Floyd song, Fred Durst? What band is he in? Who was the guy doing the other solo with Stevie Wonder??? Yes, they are making a cd, I heard that a few days ago, can’t wait. No Ray Charles singing America the Beautiful??? C’mon! It was fantastic! ---

Well, I was actually _going_ to say “no sex,” but then I realized that _other_ Dopers actually _do_ have sex from time to time, and they might be lucky enough to be getting some now, you know? 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-heard-this-fron-robin-williams-on-the-telethon/83140.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-heard-this-fron-robin-williams-on-the-telethon/83140.md?page=5)
