Now what is this telethon about?

Muscular Dystrophy, it's a disease where your muscles slowly weaken, so you can start off having a normal life but you can lose the use of your legs and end up in a wheelchair, your arms too possibly, eventually everything slowly stops working. I have a friend with Muscular Dystrophy who I've known since I was about 9, and I've had to watch him slowly get weaker, from a push-wheelchair to an electric one, and he can hardly move his arms now either. He gets me to push his glasses up for him. But I can't even imagine how hard a life it must be for him and his family..
This telethon is on every year, and Jerry Lewis hosts it normally.

You know I watched quite a bit of this telethon and I think what Jerry Lewis does every year is great. I guess I just got to thinking most of the perfpormers that they bring on apeal to an older audience (a lot of vegas singers past their prime). It was a shame that the kind of thing that would encourage someone like me to watch (the muppets) came on at 2:30 in the morning ( I did catch Sal and Johnny around midnight before I went to bed Sunday... when they were saying they would be back at the wee hours to help host). I guess I wish them well but hope they learn to appeal to the next generation of donors so that their cause doesn't belly up (on the other hand they did bring in over 50 million dollars)

If anyone has Johnny and Sal singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" please let me know. I'd like to feature this on Muppet Central Radio if someone can assist.

If anyone taped if I would trade anything I have for that. I have a few of them on the last time they were on there. I do't have the whole thing taped just some of it. But I do have them both on there from the last one they did.
