Vice President Al Gore and running-mate Joe Lieberman, with respective spouses and Hillary Clinton for good (and local) measure were the front-row guests of honor through a three-hour concert which raised a very impressive $6.5 million for the DNC.

Wall-to-wall celebrities at the Democratic National Committee fund-raiser at Radio City Music Hall included Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Julia Roberts, Michael Douglas, and Harrison Ford, who helped raise $6.5 million for the Democratic cause. Maybe it was her legal activist role in Erin Brockovich, but Roberts confessed, “I’m a Democrat, [but] I’ve never done anything political before” Performers included Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, and Jon Bon Jovi — who harmonized on The Beatles’ “Revolution” — and Bette “Bathhouse”Midler. The hosts of the event were Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein, VH1’s John Sykes, and Rolling Stone’s Jann Wenner. Introducing Lieberman, Weinstein acknowledged that the vice-presidential candidate “isn’t making my job any easier”but called him “a strong but fair critic of the entertainment industry.” He added, “I’m proud that we were the first to respond this week,”referring to the Sept. 12 statement by Miramax’s parent, the Walt Disney Co., which spelled out “responsible marketing practices”that the company would undertake in order to answer specific criticisms of a recent Federal Trade Commission report. (Mr. Showbiz is also owned by the Walt Disney Co.)
