God help me, but I'm with Mick on this one.

Did you know most of the money raised by Live Aid 20 years ago to help the starving people in Ethiopia was stolen by their corrupt government? Those people got nothing but Geldof is now called SIR Bob Geldof.

And in case no one knew, the G8 cancelled the debt of over 20 African countries... two weeks ago. They are also prepared to cancel the debt of several other countries if they meet certain criteria.

Hey, I'm all for a good concert, especially if Pink Floyd reunites, but Sir Bob, what's the real point of these shows now that the debt has already been cancelled?
