Not sure whether there's a thread for this or not, but today is Live 8 in London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Philidelphia amogn others, promoting awareness of povery, and striving to Make Poverty History in 2005. If you haven't alread please go to www.live8live.com and familiarise yourself with the issues and, if you agree with what Live 8 stands for, sign the petition to be presented to G8 in Edinburgh.
Please at least have a look - together we can make a difference.

Its been a very good concert so far and it's still going on.
Like Lucy says, click onthe link and read up on the issues.
I'm surprised that Australia doesn't have a concert...

It's being shown here twice though. When it was actually Live it was the middle of the night, so it's also being shown tonight at 8:30.

Having an interesting discussion about this with someone. Apparently the performers are getting thousands of dollars of gifts for going on stage.... or recieved, i should say...

i do. aren't they supposed to be playing because they care about the people dying, and not about the money?

Huh. I thought they were playing for free, too. But hopefully a point has at least been made to the G8-ers... And methinks Australia didn't have a concert coz we're on the other side of the world, and it's winter, so the time and conditions wouldn't have been as wonderful for the 'live' part  Either that, or Johnny was trying to keep things hush-hush about his involvement...speaking fo which, IS he involved...?

I didn't watch it. But the reason we didn't have one in Australia is because Australia is neither poverty stricken nor a member of G8. It's called Live 8 because they held one in each of the countries in G8. We be not G8 so no concert.
