any thoughts on that idea ??
Is anyone else gonna check this out? I think the Philadelphia show starts in an hour or so. I was watching streaming feed from Rome right now. I can't remember the last Live 8 concert they had. But why don't they want your money, just awareness?
I would have loved to have seen Duran Duran sing 'Ordinary World' to that Rome crowd.
WONDERFUL, THEY want us to drop the debt that they owe us, but what about what we owe to other countries? will they drop it for us? no. just wonderful. charity starts at home, in the u.s., help us before we go and try to fix the world
I think Live 8 is great...I missed seeing Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft perform Bittersweet Symphony...that would have been beauiful. I think I'd have liked to see the Hyde Park Live 8, it has more artists that I like.
I still don't understand why they have commercials on the broadcast.
Oh the Coldplay/Ashcroft song is on....beautiful.
Yeah its on right now. very cool.
Why is Pat Robertson in the One commercials? That dumb has no business being in those commercials. He's as big a thief as any corrupt UN politician.
I think the idea behind getting peoples names is so that itis obvious how many people are behind putting poverty reduction on the global agenda. the g8 summit (group of most industrialised democratic nations--ie most powerful, rich countries) are meeting in scotland this month--at heads of state level--they meet once a year to decide what the global issues are and what they want to achieve in the coming year (i think that was also the idea behind the name live8...so basically live8 is taking place right ahead of the summit to prompt world leaders to do something about poverty
still wondering when Bono will donate some money.
He tells and campaigns for everyone to donate their money, but when it comes to his??
Not a red cent.
Practice what you preach BONO Bano, whatever.
Tpark, not that you ever have correct information, but here are a few things I think about this:
1. Time is more valuable than writing a check.
2. He does give money, as does his band.
So, what the are you talking about?
I don't know much about Bono's politics other than he's very active in the causes he believes in, but I do know that he's non apathetic which goes a long way torwards making progress on any problem.
No . God Tpark, get a clue.
Bono does do a of a lot and goes out of his way to spread his causes and put the message out there, more so than a lot of other very powerful people. He gets in the middle of things. He doesn't just talk the talk. He does give of his own and gets other people involved including his fans.
I really don't understand why some people dislike the guy. Even bigtime politicians who thought he was just some silly rock star have been won over by him. Why? Because he's a very smart, well spoken man with a desire to make changes.
T Park is just mad because Bono got a Spurs bobblehead and he didn't.
The le of his latest campaign (that he helped finance) was "We're not asking for your money, we're asking for your support". They were asking people to sign a pe ion to present at the G8 (as I believe is Live8).
Get your facts straight TPark.
amazing cause. i hope it really goes somewhere.
i encourage all of you that care about the world and making the world a better place for everyone to sign the pe ion.
you can also goto their site at www.one.org
and tpark as he usually is 99 out of 100 times is out in left field with no damn clue. get your facts straight before opening your piehole son.
Damn can Dido get any hotter?
I've got it on in the background. I'm just waiting for Pink Floyd, then I'm out.
True.1. Time is more valuable than writing a check
Im just reffering to an article I read, where he was championing people to donate money to a cause, that he had not donated anything to.
The one cause, he champions for I have donated money, and have bought 500 wristbands that Im going to give to my fellow workers, and people that I know, so I am a huge supporter of what hes doing.
Its weird, supporting something that a goofball like George Clooney supports as well.
Tpark, you need to stop taking everything right wingers say as gospel.
The Who still rules.
I got an mp3 of Coldplay and Ashcroft playing Bittersweet Symphony. Damn Ashcroft still rocks the house. I am eagerly awaiting his next solo album.
Pink Floyd on now.
Damn, Pink Floyd. Made it just in time to see it.
Where'd you get the mp3?
Rewind to the finals. Rob Thomas and Stevie Wonder performing together.
It wasn't great...too short for that matter. Back in '85 for the original live aid, they went back and forth from London to Philadelphia, you didn't miss any performance. This was mainly to suit the generation who just can't sit still for five minutes. I can do without Madonna's performance. I would've liked to have seen more of Velvet Revolver though. The biggest highlights to me was the U2/McCartney rendition of Sgt.Pepper and the reformed Pink Floyd. I just wished they would've just stayed and show one groups whole performance, instead of skipping across the globe whenever an "interesting" act took the stage. Maybe Bob and company can get it right the next time. It doesn't hurt to go "old school" and remember the passion and excitement that was the original "Live Aid".
You're the biggest I know. I know you were a virgin for 30+ years, but you should be getting some on a regular basis now. So, what the is your excuse for being so anal?
They webcast the entire concert, so everyone could have seen what they wanted.
