Not The Dalai Lama

Before the concert, Matthews will join the Dalai Lama for a dialogue on the role of music in building bridges “and how emotions experienced through music unify and ultimately serve to create global compassion,” said organizers

Sappers In! (the Engineer Hymn)

We lay down all their rolling roads and cut down all their trees
And if the order ever comes, we’d forge the raging seas
When ever they want to sleep awhile, we put them up a town
And we build the blasted bridges so the Infantry won’t drown

We are, we are, we are, we are, the Combat ENGINEER’S
we can, we can, we can, we can, demolish forty beers
Drink up, drink up, drink up, drink up and come along with us
For we don’t give a damn, for any Old Man, who don’t give a damn for us – Hey

“This is a great opportunity for people to come together and join in the spirit of camaraderie and compassion,” Matthews said in a statement. Tickets, $75, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.

We feel money and power can bring happiness and solve problems, but they are not definite causes of those desired states.- Dalai Lama
