Sir, You are being very economical with the truth. 2.7 million was the number drawn by NBC's 3 hour, US-only concert recap, not the overall viewer-ship for the event itself. It also neglects the following: 1. The 18 million who tuned in on Bravo and Sundance 2. All broadcasts in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America 3. The 30 million or so that have seen MSN 4. The million or so for the live events 5. The unmeasured number who the concerts - and their message - reached through print and broadcast media. Admittedly, none of this ads up to the over-hyped 2 billion estimate, but you hardly secure a superior position for yourself by being equally dishonest in the opposite direction - especially when you have the facts readily available.
