Great White forget victims, help seals

Normally, there'd not be a problem with a band doing a benefit gig to help seals. But when the band is Great White, and the fund trying to raise funds for families affected by the nightclub fire their fireworks started has run out of cash, the choice of charity looks a little odd, if not callous.

A year or so ago, Jack Russell was saying how it was only the Station Family fund which kept him going:

In a 2005 interview with The Desert Sun, a California newspaper, Great White vocalist Jack Russell said raising money for the fund was “the only reason” he woke up each day.

“If not for the Station Family Fund, I don’t know if this band would ever tour again,” he said.


The Station Family Fund, however, say they've not had any payment from the band since 2003.
