Neil Young will be playing in Toronto. I hope he's up to it after the medical problems he's had of late.

In Philly, Will Smith--sporting a Nelson Mandela shirt--is starting the Philly show off by call for a "Declaration of interdependence" in front of the original Declaration of Independence.

Will is calling for everyone to snap their fingers to show how a child dies every three seconds in Africa from malaria and TB and that people in Philly, Rome and Moscow can just go to the local pharmacy for their drugs. Interestingly, he didn't mention HIV, the preventable disease that is wreaking havoc throughout the African continent.

The Black Eyed Peas are on stage now.
