maybe it's the fact that the problems in Africa are so overwhelming that make you feel like you don't care. When I feel overwhelmed, I'm just like, screw it. But that doesn't get me anywhere.

So if I overwhelm you...you'll just like.......

I agree that wealthy, self-indulgent rock stars and celebrities probably aren't going to make much of a dent in Africa's problems by doing what they do, but on the other hand, what they did was largely very cool today...they played *music*.

How bad can that be? I enjoyed the hell out of it, even though I was changing out a broken toilet at the time.

I wish those MTV assholes would shut up.

Sometimes (frequently) I'm glad I don't have television, although I am getting a taste of it from you guys. There are more complaints about commercials than anything else.

I wonder what all those rock and movie stars would do if a significant portion of their audience decided to stop purchasing their product and instead spent the money normally earmarked for entertainment on helping those in need.
