I'm using the pic linked to this post, from the St Jude Jam Memphis last year, for a couple reasons...first, the obvious..it's me and rock hall of famer Mike Mills from the legendary band REM. And yes, that was a pretty cool moment...but that leads me the main reason. My T says This Shirt Saves Lives and that's exactly what St Jude does. The hospital solely exists to end childhood cancer and they freely share their research worldwide. And no patient ever receives a bill for anything ever. And that takes a lot greenbacks..2.7 mil a day to be exact.. And that's why we (Sixwire) do several shows a year like that, the St Jude Jam at the FedEx Forum. To do what we can to help out, to help the kids. Because Cancer Sucks, and losing just one child to it is one too many. Over the past 10 years, we have been involved in raising over $20 million dollars for St Jude, and out of all the cool things I have been blessed to do, that could very well be the coolest because that is what really matters.  Over the years we have had an amazing lineup of artists we've backed up who donated their time and talents, and who are do it for the same reason. And it always rocks and I can't wait till the next one. And even if you can't make a show, you can still help out. The "This Shirt Saves Lives" T I have on is available at www.StJude.org for a small donation. If you get one, you will see, the shirt really does "save lives"! And how cool is that!
