From a Corner friend who was at the Wiltern LG in L.A. last night:

Just got in from a Music for Relief (musicforrelief.org) tsunami
relief concert featuring Tenacious D and guests. I doubt you will be
able to confirm this anywhere, but I want to give you my firsthand
account.
Eddie Vedder was one of the special guests. After singing two songs,
he remarked that we were all there for a good cause, but added he
didn’t think we should “have to contribute all this money” since our
government could easily give enough for all of us. And since so many
of the victims of the disaster were Muslim, he continued, he thought
that the money should come “out of the anti-terrorism fund.”
He threw in a snarky afterthought; he was upset he was not invited to
the Inauguration. I yelled as loud as I could, “I WAS!” My wife
tossed in “shut up and sing!” for good measure.
It should be noted that Tenacious D rocked the [house] and said
nothing stupid.
