Weekend Whats
What to Benefit: The FireAid concert that aired on every major streaming network combined amazing (and an amazing number of) musical performances with some really moving stories from people who experienced the fires. The performances spanned the genres and the years and included a reunion of Nirvana with guest artists providing lead vocals, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell, Lady Gaga, Pink, John Mayer, Green Day, Billie Eilish, Sting, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Katy Perry, Olivia Rodrigo, and on and on. You can still watch the whole event. And of course, consider making a donation. Steve Ballmer matched all FireAid donations made during the benefit concert. That’s how you billionaire.
+ What to Doc: Tom Green was an internet star before there were internet stars. Take a nostalgic (and oddly comforting) look back at his meteoric rise (and the rise of a certain kind of homemade entertainment) on Prime: This Is The Tom Green Documentary.
+ What to SNL: With the 50th anniversary looming, there is a lot of SNL content out and more coming. For now, check out the four episode look behind the scenes, Beyond Saturday Night. And experience music history with 50 Years of SNL Music. Even the trailer is amazing.
