Hope For Haiti Now Telethon Performances
Last night, "Hope for Haiti Now" took over many television networks for 2 hours and was loaded with celebrities and performances by Stevie Wonder, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna to name a few.
The "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon was broadcasted in efforts to raise money for Haiti's earthquake relief fund.
Dave Matthews was the second to last performer and to our surprise he shared the stage with Neil Young. The duo performed a cover of "Alone and Forsaken", a song by Hank Williams.
