Benefit Concerts for Andrew d'Angelo
Andrew d'Angelo is a composer and saxophonist and you can hear his music here. He was one of my housemates when I first moved to New York, and I just found this out, so I'm gutted at the moment. He has suffered a seizure and has had a cancerous brain tumor removed, but still has to undergo radiation etc. Of course he has no health insurance. His blog about the ordeal, if you can stomach it, is here: http://www.andrewdangelo.com/blog.php
The list of benefit concerts is under the 'home' section on his website, and they will take place roughly as follows:
February 22, 2008 Brooklyn, NY
February 24, 2008 Chicago, IL
February 26, 2008 New York, NY
February 27, 2008 Antwerp, Belgium
February 28, 2008 Brooklyn, NY
February 29, 2008 Reykjavik, Iceland
February 29, 2008 Barcelona, Spain
March 5, 2008 Ghent, Belgium
March 11 & 12, 2008 Oslo, Norway
March 11, 2008 Brookline, MA
March 22, 2008 Brooklyn, NY
March 27, 2008 Sicily, Italy
April 4, 2008 Ferrara, Italy
P.S. This country fucking blows for not having universal health care.
P.P.S. The New York Times ran a piece on jazz musicians and health care yesterday.

Amen.
I'll third that.
Trici, Clara and I are gonna hit the Chicago benefit. Should be a good one.
Here's the Chicago Reader blog on this,Improvised Health Care Plan.
Hey Heids,
Sad news. His blog is rough reading as his situation is so bad. I added a link to the side bar.
Our health care system is truly a joke.
the U.S. health care system does suck but do you know anything about universal health care and what it actually cost you out of your pay check? 30% or greater taxes and even longer waits at hospitals. someone in this poor man's condition has a better chance at donations from friends and fans than he would with universal health care.
god speed!
I'm so sorry to hear about this.
My Dad had a brain tumor in 97. We were all a bit of a wreck.
I could bitch about the health care system, but that's not going to shrink a tumor. I will keep him in my thoughts and try to spread the word on donations.
Are you going to the rest of the Brooklyn concerts incl. tomorrow's?
Also, hit me up for George Clinton / P - Funk photos from The Warsaw. Henry Rollins is doing spoken word tonight.
Matt
