Live 8 Philadelphia, PA
All over the local Philly news is this LIve 8 crap. They are going to have millions of people come to this rusty city to listen to a bunch of bands, but not really do anything for Africa. Live Aid (20 years ago) actually raised money for them. They said (but not too loudly) that this is only to raise 'Awareness'. I always thought those 'we are the world' things were a bunch of horseshit anyway.
The list of bands are forgettable. The only one that interests me is Linkin Park. I think 50 Cent would have been cool too for the concert but he pulled out. There's talk of Michael Jackson coming...in fact locals are arguing in the papers about it. I would LOVE for him to come to Philly. He's been closed up with those little boys for so long that he has no idea what the real world is like. Philly is not the kind of place that keeps it's mouth shut when it has nothing nice to say. It would be quite an eye opener for Mr Jackson...now THAT I'd consider going to see!!!!

I am now required to work over the fricken' holiday weekend in anticipation of some rowdiness among the locals. I hate to say it, but i'm so jaded now, i find myself hoping for anything, the more chaotic the better, to happen in order to validate the miserable 72 hours i'm required to sit around listening to que tone and watching color bars.
It's going to be a train-wreck of washed-up celebrities slapping themselves on the back about how great they are. Vendors in the city are already fighting over who has rights to schlock goods to the poor schmucks who show up. Everybody wants a payday....
