I’m gonna watch live8 tonight, maybe.
ok, of course I’ll sign, but how do that helps?.
And, maybe it’s becouse I’m beeing ignorant, but don’t think the recital will help either, I’m shure someone tolded those leaders that there are poverty everywhere, and if I were one of those leaders, I will not care about the bands, I’ll try to find a solution either with bands or not
Despite not having any real facts I wanted to state that live8 is probably not the most trustworthy of organisations. Perhaps I am wrong, but I got the impression that it isn’t so much about helping people, but about improving the image of the G8 (btw, there is currently a G8-summit in Scottland). For example, I read that they did a party for africa, but didn’t invite one single african artist (black artists yes, but none from africa) until the protests got too big.
One organisation I would recommend is “friends of the earth”. First impression it gives is one of an environmental group, but they also focus on poverty and it’s cause (i.e. unfair globalisation, WTO treaties and so on).
Here is a link, they got local groups in just about any country

I loved the Live 8 concert, I thought all the bands were amazing and I think the people did a really good job of putting it together. There was just a couple of things that made me think ‘hmmm’ and one thing was the crowd. Theres all these thousands of people wanting to help ‘make poverty history’ and when asked saying that they weren’t there for the music but if you got a polititian up their talking for 10 hours, how many people would have stayed then? I would definately have gone and probably wouldn’t if Tony Blair was talking up there for 10 hours. Did everybody else enjoy it and how did you think made a good positive speech?
live 8 was good pink floyds performance was amazing
Yeahhhh dude Pink Floyd. I’d sign the petition if Pink Floyd reunited.
Yeah that Comfortably Numb solo was really really good. It made me get emotional. xD
