other than see pink floyd play together probably for the very last time ever and this whole fiasco be a gigantic waste of time . i be sorry and i know we all want to believe it be a great event help people in africa and that sign petition online do something ( i call this slactivism ) but i be afraid to say it wasn not and they do not . what we have be a bunch of age and not so age rocker and pop star pat themselves on the back and stroke their collective ego by play for hundred of thousand of people ( live ) and million on tv and the web . it a great big feel good fest and the musician get to play for a large crowd and and the audience get off the hook and they do not have to do anything but watch one of the most fantastic lineup ever . at least when the sars aid show in toronto be go to help toronto recover from the sars epidemic . what do this event do . raise awareness they say and well how many people really understand the issue in africa . i do probably more than most and but i still do not really know why the hell africa be such bad shape . i do not really know why the aid epidemic have hit africa so hard . be it just pure poverty . be be the root cause of this poverty . be it dictatorships . foreign debt . that seem to be main focus of guy like bono and but realistically what how do a concert help this . do you really think that the leader of the free world give a damn that bunch of people go together to listen to some music . i be sorry and call me cynical and i do think music be important and effect our life in a meaningful way but when i think geldof have kind of lose his mind . he stand there so proud of himself and but be there any surprise that so many people would watch the most popular musical act in the world . it could have have nothing to do with africa and it could have be to celebrate sponge and people still would have show up . i be sorry and in 1985 it seem magical and but it a movie sequel and too polished and quite expect and simply a rehash of what we have already see .
