I'm enjoying the music of Live 8, but not the evil cause behind it. The difference between Live 8 and Live Aid is the difference between force and freedom, between the the stick-up man and the Salvation Army Santa Claus. If Bono, Dave Matthews, and Paul McCartney wish to siphon off a portion of their lucrative earnings to give to African governments, then they should go ahead and do so. I'm not stopping you. Please don't stop me from using my money to the way I see fit. Live Aid was charity. Live 8 is a racket.
Taking to the stage Madonna asked the crowd: "Are you ready to start a revolution? Are you ready to change history? I said, are you ready?"
LOLOLOLOL! at least pink floyd rocked. they look like wizened old rock n' roll warriors!
"Got one sour note in this musical love fest. The stars are all getting goody bags worth about $12,000 at a concert that's supposed to be about relieving poverty." -- Tracy Smith for See B.S.
I wish we could get together a group as large as there was at Live 8 to attend a concert focused on Academic reform. I think that poverty has been prolonged due to the left's economic ignorance and bias against American values.
