LIVE 8, or, Let Us Be Outraged!
Brad Pitt said, earlier tonight, let us be outraged!
Madonna, and she said, Are you ready, London? Are you ready to start a revolution? Are you ready to change history? and though it was fake how she hugged and kissed that girl, she did have words, and words it were. Mere words that hopefully will get the attention of the Mahwels, the fake ones in this world. The rich girls. The cricket boys. The Ferrari men. The dressed-up women.
Velvet Revolver, I saw Velvet Revolver and Slash was there, my God, my God my God my God, Slash and Duff and Matt, and I'm supposed to be happy, and I was when it happened, but now I'm sad and frustrated and I wish Axl would have been there, I really do. I'm in the middle of reading an old interview with Axl from 1992, and he said, the bottom line is that nothing can come between Slash and I, and as long as we have that bond we have Guns N' Roses.
What happened to that bond?
But however, this entry is about Live 8. The Live 8 that just finished with Hey Jude, I have no idea in which of the cities, but I suppose it was London. That was on Nederland 3. And now, BBC1 is showing us the Black Eyed Peas.
Let us be outraged. Let us be outraged, because if fifty thousand people died in London today, or in Philadelphia, or in New York, in Houston, in Utah, people would do something. It wouldn't matter what it would take, but something would have been done. Now they are not doing anything because it's so far away and they don't care
And that, my friends, is why you should all go to
www.live8live.com as soon as it's up again, and write down your names.
Take a breath. Think of the people that are dying.
Think of your family and friends, and remember that it could have been them dying if you'd only been born somewhere else.
Let us be bold!
