Who should sing in Live 8

(via Fox 23) Peter Gabriel commeted on musician line-up for Live 8:

Gabriel said he understands Geldof’s decision to select internationally recognized names to play at the big Live 8 concerts in an attempt to raise as much awareness as possible about poverty in Africa, and to pressure Group of Eight leaders meeting in Scotland on July 6-8 to contribute more aid.

"Bob's sole criteria is that he has to keep millions of eyes around the world glued to the television and he felt if it was some remote part of China or Latin America, if it was an unknown artist ... people might switch off," he told Sky TV. "So if they didn't sell 10 million records they weren't going to be invited. I don't agree that's the right thing to do, but I fully understand."

(zh-tw)Peter叔的Realworld Record一直不斷地介紹了來自非洲的優秀音樂家, 自己本身除了在Genesis之外, solo career也是多彩多姿, 但是命運捉弄人, 真正實際用音樂去關心非洲的Peter叔, 並沒有像Bob叔一樣, 在Diana在世時, 弄到一個爵士頭銜, 也沒想到Bob叔 20年後還有力氣能聯合AOL / Nokia等搞Live 8....其實Bob叔的音樂成就相對較低, 但是善於結合政商資源, 操作議題, 明星也買帳, 配合演出, 互蒙其利...別忘了除了被標示為"飢餓的非洲人"之外, Bob叔和他的家人還有後代也是要靠Live 8 + Live Aid未來的版稅啦! Sometimes it's just business, Bob叔, 就多算他一筆功德囉.

BTW樂齡夠資深的, 1985年有看華視現場轉播的, 舉手一下囉!

I haven't been up to much lately. So it goes. What can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me recently, not that it matters. I just don't have much to say these days.
