   Giving a Damn: Joe Raiola on 46 Years of John Lennon, MAD Magazine, and Music That Heals | A Music Evolves Conversation with Joe Raiola, President and Artistic Director of Theatre Within

   Joe Raiola has spent 46 years turning a grief-stricken gathering after John Lennon's death into a benefit concert that funds free creative-arts programs for public school kids and cancer patients. He talks with Sean Martin about that work, his 33 years shaping American satire as an editor at MAD Magazine, and why he still believes music and comedy can get people to give a damn.
