Cruising around the 'net I was reading up about this benefit concert, ok it's actually 5 concerts on the same day in 5 different cities around the world, called Live 8. It's for the eradication of poverty in Africa... certainly a noble cause. The five locations are London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Philadelphia. Paris, Berlin, and Rome are pretty sucky in my opinion. Phily isn't great... but the Dave Matthews Band will be there...and Stevie Wonder... and this band called the Kaiser Chiefs who I've heard a song or two... not to shabby... but some real shit too... like 50 Cent, Rob Thomas, and Maroon 5 (God I hate them). The real gem is London... damn do I wanna go!
Check out the
London lineup!The highlights include: Coldplay, The Cure, Joss Stone, Keane, The Killers, Muse, Razorlight, REM, Snoop Dogg, Snow Patrol, U2... among others.
But the real draw is the recent addition of the reunited (for the first time since the mid 80's) PINK FLOYD.
Check it out! How sweet is that?
