I fell asleep with my TV on so I could wake up to the Live 8 coverage. Is anyone else sitting on their arses all day to watch it?

I didn't get tickets to the one north of us in Barrie because I was afraid it would be a million degrees & the line-up didn't impress me. Celine Dion via satellite? Why couldn't she get her skinny arse on a plane to be there in person?

I was glued to the TV for Live Aid, too. My parents bought me books on Live Aid & it led me to organize my schoolmates to raise funds for the famine. I'm a bit more cynical now but I still think it's a good idea & perhaps the G8 leaders will pause from their golf games to ponder the big picture.

So far, I've watched Chris Martin from Coldplay & Richard Ashcroft from the Verve duet (heavenly!) & now Dido & Youssou n'Dour (cold shivers!).

Bill Gates gave a good speech, too (did you know he's donated FIVE BILLION dollars to charity?!?!?!).

Are you guys watching? Did you watch Live Aid?
