According this AP report (thanks e-mailer Patrick!), the performers at Philadelphia Live 8 show received “designer suits, satellite radio subscriptions, Gibson guitars, $125 ties, $330 sweat suits and watches worth between $1,500 and $6,000.” The total value of the swag is estimated at $12,000.

Obvious ironies aside, one point immediately springs to mind. Where the heck is Jon Bon Jovi going to go in a $125 tie? Oh, yes, that’s right, Ms. Lopez. I went right at him. Him and his “hair.”
