Anyone would think that tomorrow's Live 8 concerts are somehow going to cause the second coming of Christ to occur and an end to all desease, poverty and hate in the world by the amount of free promotion it's getting on the TV and radio. At the end of the day it's a free music festival featuring a bunch of WASPs who are probably doing it because it's the only chance they'll ever get to play to over five billion people in one go.

Getting people to sit and either watch the TV for the day or stand in one of several parks around the world listening to a free concert isn't going to make any government change its mind about helping third world countries deal with the issue of poverty.

You could add your name to the Live 8 list to show your support for the cancelling of third world debt though.
