I know the Bono appearance on Oprah has already been mentioned, but between commercials on the show today it said that Oprah would be leaving the studio during the show and the teaser was something to the effect of what could be so big to get Oprah out of the studio?

Anyone hear of the band planning to perform this Friday for the show in Chicago?

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere, I looked but didn't see anything.

^yeah, he's talking about RED.

As for the band playing, from all that's been passed around is that Bono will be in town. I don't think there's been any mention of the rest of the band members being in Chicago.


i'm following you, U2Man! :wink:
 
Alicia Keys is scheduled for the show too I believe... And perhaps they are unveiling a red building for the day :shrug:
 
this will be the 4th time I've posted this :sigh:

just got this email!



Dear Lila,

Keep A Child Alive on Oprah!!!!


KCA Global Ambassador Alicia Keys will be on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" tomorrow-Friday, talking about KCA! Please, show your support and tune in.

Grammy-Winning artist, actress, philanthropist and humanitarian Alicia Keys will tell Oprah about her trip to Africa in April. She will be sharing pictures and videos from her trips to KCA clinics and programs. This trip changed Alicia's life. Tune in and it will change yours as well. See the faces of the children who benefit from your kindness, the doctors who work tirelessly to deliver medicine to the destitute ill and the communities struggling to cope with the devastation of AIDS. Learn how KCA is addressing these problems fueled by your kindness and generosity.

In addition, Alicia Keys and Bono will duet their beautiful rendition of, "Don't Give Up (Africa)". This song is a message to all the people in Africa who are waiting for life-saving ARVs, who have watched a daughter or father or uncle or sister die of AIDS, who are grandmothers raising orphaned grandchildren, who are dying alone in their homes. Alicia and Bono will pour their heart into this song. Show your support for these two humanitarians and the people infected and affected by AIDS in Africa by purchasing this song on Friday at www.keepachildalive.org.

100% of the money from the song will benefit Keep a Child Alive.

The Oprah Winfrey Show. Friday October 13, 2006 (Check local listings for airtimes)
 
^Thus the subject at hand as topic on Oprah's show airing 10/13:wink: AND the song is beautiful by Bono and Alicia Keyes :up: More awareness of the Red Campaign as well as Bono's other campaigns WILL help keep children and other HIV and starving sufferers alive. Watch the show Friday. Do what YOU can to help. I do and it really feels heartwarming to know my very small contribution adds to the bigger picture and does make a difference.
 
Does anyone know if this recording is the actual version they did on Oprah or is it the one that Bono and Alicia recorded several months ago of the same song that was available for download then?
