Imagine if fifty thousand people died in Vancouver daily, or fifty thousand people died in Tokyo or fifty thousand people died LA daily, they would have come up with the money to stop it. Stop it now, or you will loose fifty thousand brothers and sisters each day we are contemplating.....so went the ad during the immensely enjoyable
live 8 concert. The "they" here are the G8 leaders and the "brothers and sisters" are the people in Africa who are dying daily of poverty.
Let me start with the concert, it was too good. I never imagined that I would ever watch Pink Floyd live, but strange is the way of gods. After 24 long years to see a clearly emotional Waters and Gilmore is too good an experience describe by words. They still have their magic and I could feel it, though it was through a TV. Magic is Magic. It is once in a life moment like sampras coming back to win against Courier in the 1995 Australian open or like Tendulkar smashing Akthar over the third-man in the World-Cup or anything like that. Sorry for sounding like Nirmal Shekar here, but couldn't help it.
Pink Floyd have reunited - The pigs have flown away
My bush is better than America's Our dear old bush has promised 600 odd million to eradicate poverty in Africa, you don't have to be an economist, but 600 million dollars, are you kidding me. The dog-food industry in America is worth a couple of billion.
Hope the eight people who meet up in Scotland this weekend come up with something will remove their common surname ( read PIGS ). Go to live8 site and give you support. As the web site said -
"We don't need your money, we only need your face"
Which channel did u watch it?
VH1 - the free music channel, tune it up. They will surely be replaying the stuff for a year

Yeah good show .. I kind of watched it for a few minutes....
It took a long time for the G8 to realise that the world is more than G8.
