Page 1 of Live 8

Does anyone seriously believe that Live8 is more than a chance for lost of rich musicians to show how they`re doing `their bit` by banging out a few tunes? It seems to me like Live8 is just a big concert to make people feel good about themselves without doing much to deal with the situation. Live AID did make a big difference but, now, we`ve seen the images on TV so many times that we`ve become desensitized to the situation. The other thing that p*sses me off is people like Bono going on about third world debt whilst wearing £100 sunglasses. I`m not saying the guy isn`t entitled to spend his money how he wants but, it seems to me to be somewhat audacious to complain about debt whilst raking in millions of pounds a year and doing promo ads for billion dollar companies.

Thing is it needs a high profile face or two that people are familiar with to push buttons with the powers that be. After all who would listen to me if i had the same ideals and he could be like lots of people in his position and do bugger all....

Thats my penneth.

Just watched my Live aid DVD again, Queen was just brilliant, really miss poor old Freddie Mercury , what a great voice :D

As for Live 8, dont really know many of the bands this time, must be an age thing, but I will watch it anyway.

If anybody finds they have tickets and can`t go - please email the duck at:
