I think Ms. Dowd do not have a clue to the facts. Anyway, contracts for shows at conventions, charity events, business meetings etc. (so called "private gigs") are set up months and months in advance (one year in this case, if memory serves me correctly). I suspect if you violate your contract by not showing up or announcing at the last minute that you're not going to show - that's called breach of contract -- and you can be sued for that. Further, private funds were already allocated by Northern Trust. But then again $50k was the fee for the whole Sheryl Crow's band.

I just can't believe that Maureen Dowd knows her Sheryl Crow songs. I mentioned 'Change Will Do You Good' on my blog as well. I just can't believe that Maureen Dowd knows her Sheryl Crow songs.
