Re: Make Poverty History. (O/T)
 

What time is the concert (EST)?

Re: Make Poverty History. (O/T)
 

It's been going on for over four hours. No one really knows how long it will last, but probably for another four or five hours, at least.

A wiser man than us all
 

Make poverty history? A wiser man than us all once said the poor will always be with us. He advocated helping them but not to presume to eliminate their poverty.

Also looks like it will be on 8pm-10pm on ABC (or at least it is here on the east coast)...probably a highlights show as I think the actual concert is over by that time(?).

Re: Make Poverty History. (O/T)
 

Pink Floyd is on live NOW.

You might catch it on Radio 1.

so i saw some news thing talking about this.. they are donating $0 from the concert to any causes. they give each artist gift bags worth thousands of dollars. yet another case of musicians/celebrities trying to feel more important than they really are.

raising awareness.. so lame.

Re: Make Poverty History. (O/T)
 

When the concerts are free it's pretty hard to donate. Actually I like the fact that no money is changing hands. It's very rare in our world.

Secondly, even if the musicians were not that important, I hope that the millions of people who listen to them, and their attitudes and opinions, are.

If the musicians can make this message firstpage news all over the world, they are just as important as they think. I have no idea why you are complaining about the gift baskets, it's plain courtesy when huge artists do things for free.

AOL has the full Paris, Rome, Berlin, Toronto, Philadelphia, and London concerts on loop for the entire summer. I'm watching it now.

It's a shame that the VH1/ MTV production cuts away from Pink Floyd in the middle of a song. What a shame.
