Make Poverty History
Before I even start... there's this guitarist on right now... he's trying to keep his tears in.
I'm watching Bob RIGHT NOW. He's shown us footage of a young girl, who 20 years ago.. only had 10 minutes to live. She's now live on stage, standing next to Madonna. This gives us so much proof that support to causes such as Live 8 does work.
Make Poverty History
The footage they've shown.. and will continue to show, is absolutely emotional and appauling. If something doesn't get done.. then the G8 are going to have the largest power-battle on their hands EVER. The power of this weekend has so far, and will continue to amount to more power than G8 can withstand. They've had some of the worlds most powerful people on stage, around the world, tonight. Bill Gates, Sir Bob, Madonna .. etc. etc. Nelson Mandela has been live to the Eden Project. Will Smith has had each participating Country talking to each other via TV screen. This is an event that will go down in History.
9 concerts. 8 men. They're going to have to listen.
I'm absolutely gutted that I can't be there this weekend.. but I'm supporting in a way that roughly 75% of the population can. By giving my voice. Give your voice. I've given my voice. Will you?
