I've Been Thinking:
We spend so much time hashing and rehashing the problems of the Middle East and the threats that emerge and subside in the region that I thought it would be nice to focus on a nice cultural event that will take place this summer, in Israel..
Burt Bacharach will perform one concert in Israel on July 2. The concert will take place in the city of Binyamina.
This will be the first visit of Bacharach to Israel. It is inevitable that the concert will be a huge hit.
Bacharach, who turned 85 in March, is still very spry and very sprite. He is without a doubt one of the greatest song writers in modern history. His greatest works include "What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love" and "Walk On By."
Tickets to the concert cost about $100. Only a few thousand Israelis can attend this kind of event, but the entire country with get a tremendous psychological lift from Bacharach's appearance and concert. It will be all over the internet, on TV and radio and multi picture spreads and articles in the international press.
When international stars come to Israel it is a vote of recognition for the country and Israelis yearn for and thrive on that recognition.
