What do Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, and Tommy Hilfiger all have in common? That’s right, it’s not style! The threesome are however organizing a benefit concert to build a memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Mall in DC. (Who isn’t organizing a benefit concert this year? I think even my mom is organizing a benefit concert…)
The Dream Concert will be held at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on September 18th. The headliners will be Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, while confirmed support acts include Robin Thicke, Bebe Winans, Cece Winans and Jessye Norman. (Robin Thicke?) Al Roker will be the presenter, and Ben Affleck, Shaquille O’Neal and LaDainian Tomlinson will be part of the event’s hosts.
The Dream Team who are trying to raise the essential funds to build the memorial have a super website. Check it out at:

The party organizers should totally get a hold of some of the fantastic art pieces painted by DREAM from San Francisco. I think this one would fit in nicely:

I could be mistaken about this being done by Dream, but it is definitely by TDK. And TDK are still part of the Dream.
