Great entertainment, cursing that I didn't go , but gave my ticket to my son as it was his twelfth birthday on Saturday, not bad for his first gig
.
Highlights for me were mostly the old rockers, Elton John , the Who, U2, but with special mentions to Madonna, Snoop Dog, Velvet Revolver and the Stereophonics, but the IMHO the stars of the night were Razorlight now thats what I call rock 'n' roll.
Can you watch the Micheal Buerk video with the Cars soundtrack without a tear in your eye? Can you believe that twenty years after you first saw it the situation in Africa is worse than it was then?
Forget the cynical comments,go to
www.live8live.com, sign up for the petition to end poverty, 25 million people did today, be the 25 million and first, and email T Blair , the links there, let him have one hell of a mail box tomorrow.
I for one don't want to have to watch that video in another 20 years time, and think that that nothing has changed, I challenge you, forget the cynicism it won't cost you anything but 5 minutes of you time, you never know it might get the men in grey suits to listen for once, especially if they think that there is a sea change in public opionion and their jobs might be in danger.
Click, 3 seconds, click, 3 seconds, click, 3 seconds, in Africa that could be my entire family dead.
I'll put the soap box and the brandy bottle away now
