Thumbs down Re: Live 8
with Live8 looming this weekend I was just wondering what people thought generally about this event.

Flicking through the latest issue of Radio Times which features extensive coverage of the event with lots of lovely pics of the major performers I couldn't help but find it a bit offensive that all these multi millionaires are talking about poverty in Africa. And let's face it by playing Live8 they are surely increasing their exposure and therefore record sales etc. (Nice timing as well that Live8 coincides with a U2 tour and new Coldplay album). I don't know, but for me if people need reminding about poverty in Africa by a bunch of pompous over paid pop stars then therein lies part of the problem.
