And we can use my uncle's barn as a theatre!

I think my respect for the political depth of Live 8 concert-goers is somewhat lessened when they couldn't be bothered to throw their empty water bottles in the garbage.

Political depth? You're joking, right?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Were they performing?

[icedrake.livejournal.com]

Who?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Political Depth.

(Sorry. Was a joke.)

[icedrake.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I guess I'm just not tragically hip enough.

It's not surprising you wouldn't recognize whether it was the name of an actual band. It was a pretty motley crew.

And yet it all started with such a simple plan...

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

It sounds simple, but one has to wonder if playing to a great big sea of people really affects any lasting change.

That's the problem -- the politicians, as they jet to and fro, forget their own roots.

To be fair, it's not just the fault of the politicians. I saw many people who knew absolutely nothing about the cause hunting for tickets until they turned deep purple.

You should've seen the scalpers who swooped on the line hunting for extra tickets, to turn around and sell them for a hundred or more apiece! About as understandable as a blue rodeo, let me tell ya.

No kidding! I'm sure there were some barenaked ladies and men without kidneys left in the scalpers' wakes.
