Live8
Live8 has been criticized for its "too white" artistic line-up. This seems strange to me as I thought the whole point of the exercise was for white people to spend an afternoon feeling good about themselves while doing nothing to actually address the systematic lack of political and economic freedoms that result in poverty and starvation. And besides, whatever. The show was dead to me the minute I read they had turned away a Spice Girls reunion.
On Wednesday 6th July, the eight leaders of the most powerful and richest countries in the world will gather for a summit in the town of Gleneagles in Scotland. These men can make poverty history and change the future for hundreds of millions of people – but they will only do it if enough of us tell them to.
