Live 8

Music

OK, I have 2 reasons to talk about Live 8, a series of concerts and events across the world which are being staged to highlight the problem of global poverty. First, there will be 2 Scandinavian artists on stage: the Icelandic diva Björk, in Tokyo, and… the Swedish band A-Ha in Berlin. I know… But there’s a better reason: the organization behind this, One.org, needs your voice (and not money) to Make Poverty History. One.org wants to send a clear message to President Bush and the G8 with our help, and one way to help using your blogs. The goal is to get 100,000 blogs pinging Technorati (they make the count) with that kind of post before the next G8 summit starts.

    Bunch of has been musicians out to get their face back on tv. What have they done in the past 10 years?

    If these crusty billionaires wanted to help, they would share their fortunes.
