I watched it on tv. It was really really cool. My only problem was this; it was free. That is so dumb. OK, I know they wanted to raise awareness and what not, but why not charge $5 a head. Even $1 would have raised a whole lot of money to end poverty. Did they at least have suggested donation jars or something? I mean, you are holding a concert to raise awareness about poverty and doing nothing to stop poverty. Raising awareness helps, but so does money. I think this was some holier than thou nonsense that was put together to make people feel good about themselves. It was great for all of us, but what about the people in Africa? They must have been like, "They are raising awareness for us. Whoohoo!!! Now I will still starve and die a horrible death." Awareness will get them money in the long run, but they need money now. I am glad the future generation will live longer, but the current generation just got screwed. Live 8...more like Ive 8, too bad you won't. HAHAHA
