Newzapalooza promoter Ian Harvey was quick to note the main force behind the revival of Newzapalooza is the following trio: Jonathan Jenkins and Rob Granatstein at the Toronto Sun and Rob Cribb at the Star.
Ian says he is just one of the many media musicians promoting the June 5 Media Battle of the Bands at the Opera House.
And while the lineup of media musicians is impressive, "the only thing missing is for Bono (Sun columnist Mark Bonokoski) to sing Stand By Me."
Ian says if Mark is game, "we’ll work him into the show."
How about Sun alumni Brian Vallee on piano for Bono's favourite song?
That's worth a $20 ticket alone.
