Review

Good idea. Eradicate world poverty. Another term for it is Communism.

Anyway. The televised Uk concert has the usual chummy sneering, I'll say what ordinary folk might, presenters. Mr Ross and some blonde DJ types.

Opening Sergeant Pepper, number with Paul Mccartney U2 was ok. Then U2 were antic and not bad. All the stars dress down in black, and try not to be preachy, but fail.

The crowd always look bored till the camera focuses on them. The idea is that they'll be change is consciousness, and we'll think more about how to help poor people in Africa... Is it possible for this to happen? Yes. How do we change the consciousness of people in Africa. Let's have a concert there. Big place though with not as much tv.

I don't know.
