live 8 concert

yesterday watched it on vh1 and mtv.

so, what's it about?
A CONCERT TO END WORLD POVERTY.

because the G8 are having a conference sometime next week i think and discussing about the poverty in africa.

what is the g8?
stands for group of 8
the 8 most powerful world leaders. that means the leaders of:

canada
france
germany
italy
japan
russia
united kingdom
united states

anyways, yesterday, mtv and vh1 had a concert called live 8 to raise awareness to the people around the world.

AND IT LASTED 8 HOURS STRAIGHT
happened all around the world all at the same time

8 countries
9 cities
4 continents
8 HOURS
150 BANDS

hmm..let me see whether i can remember the cities.

berlin
paris
london
PHILADELPHIA
tokyo
rome

not sure about the rest

wanted to be in berlin. GREEN DAY WAS THERE
wanted to be in tokyo. GOOD CHARLOTTE WAS THERE

so sad they didn't give highlights on much going on in tokyo nor berlin
was more on philly and london. sigh.

well, linkin park and jay-z performed together for the first time after joining forces in philly. and THEY WERE GREAT! ((:

this concert actually took place in 1985 by this man named sir bob geldof who had gone to africa and saw the poverty and wanted to change it and so he produced this concert, LIVE AID and 20 years later, LIVE 8.

THEY DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY. THEY WANT YOUR VOICE!

meaning, the concert was free to all who wanted to come because bob geldof wanted to raise awareness. he said in 1985 he wouldn't do it again but he did it twenty years later.

so, SIGN THE PETITION TODAY!
