Live 8

[Future Proof]

Exactly. I recognize that a big fuck-all concert and a huge show of solidarity may show the G8 that people are willing to deal with the rampant greed that perpetuates African poverty, maybe even enough to actually vote the G8 leaders out of power. And god forbid those stiffs lose their almighty power.

Geldof could've sold tickets though, ramped up a huge donation campaign (which I believe that he has so, big up's to him on that), sold merchandise, et cetera... and could've had a big check to send off to the oft-forgotten continent. That's where he failed, and that's where I feel that Live 8 in general is less about the cause, and more about the fact that Geldof and Bono have a huge God complex and all that this concert is going to do is massage their egos.
