Is there anyone other than me who suspects that this whole Gleneagles/Live8/Make Poverty History fuss will fizzle out and turn out to have been nothing but an occasion for politicians and rockstars to make some noise?
I don't particularly care about any of the people performing. They're all has-been bags of hot air who want one last shot at remaining relevant. And as someone pointed out, people aren't going to support the efforts at removing debt in Africa: they're going to see the bands they like.
Whatever happened to the performers who kept their altruism tucked up their sleeve and did good not to achieve the fame and adulation of doing good, but because it was good?
