Elliot Smith tribute show - L.A. - Beck & others
ELLIOTT SMITH MEMORIAL/TRIBUTE featuring Beck / Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) / Grandaddy / Beth Orton / Rilo Kiley / Future Pigeon / AND SPECIAL GUESTS
All artists will be performing Elliott songs. In addition, there will also be a screening of the Elliott documentary 'Strange Parallel' by Steve Hanft.
$20 plus $6 Ticketweb service charge. All proceeds go to the Elliott Smith Foundation for Abused Children.
Bought my ticket already, this will sell out very quickly.

So where is the money going? To his family. If he wouldn't have been so selfish he'd be around to support his family. I'm just sick of these people killing themselves and artists having a benefit for them. I'm all for a benefit for someone who didn't take their own life.
Sorry for the rant

Just an observation of your post. People who commit suicide are very often disturbed both emotionally as well as mentally. I wouldn't label a person who commited suicide as being "selfish", but rather suffering in a way that you probably couldn't understand. I find your sentence "If he wouldn't have been so selfish he'd be around to support his family" to be both insensitive and ill-informed. Furthermore, if you're so "sick of people killing themselves and artists having a benefit for them", DON'T contribute any money or attend the memorial concert or buy anything that's associated with Elliot Smith. I'm sure his family and friends wouldn't want your money.

Any fellow DVD Talkers going to be at the memorial show? (I tried to get a ticket, but it sold out within a couple of hours.) Please post your thoughts and observations. TIA
