ASCAP composer Angelo Badalamenti, renowned for his many collaborations with film director David Lynch, kicked off The David Lynch Foundation's "Change Begins Within" benefit concert on Saturday, April 4th, at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
Seated at the piano, and beginning in darkness, Badalamenti played what the New York Times called his "ominous and romantic theme" from Twin Peaks to introduce his dear friend David Lynch, who co-hosted the event with Laura Dern.
The evening was headlined by Paul McCartney, who was joined by Ringo Starr, and also included performances from Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye Lavette, Jim James, Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern, and others.
