Hello, Philadelphia! Did you enjoy your Live 8? (I didn’t – but I’m a wimp when it comes to a 1 million + mob. See the Phillyist Live 8 questionnaire about that.) Did you enjoy your fuzzy moppet Bruce Vilanch, Wayne Brady, Patti La Belle, Rufus Wainwright’s lisp, and 20 minutes of “Rocket Man” from Elton for the 4th of July Sunoco Philadelphia Freedom Concert?

But then again, I doubt Will Smith could have belted out, “Hello, Jessica Haralson!” without arousing suspicion from a certain Mrs. Pinkett on the sidelines.) Did you learn anything new about AIDS? No? You didn’t?
