It was great to hear that Pearl Jam was going to be headlining at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival this year but, even greater was what I heard they are doing to help out the residents of Flint, Michigan fix their tainted water supply.
Pearl Jam and their manager have pledged a donation of $125,000 to The United Way of Genesee County, which is aiding Flint in this horrible and almost incomprehensible time. In addition, entities close to Pearl Jam, such as Universal Music Publishing Group and even their one-time foes Ticketmaster, have donated an additional $175,000 to United Way, bringing the total raised to $300K.
