And now what?

So in Edinburgh the G8 agreed for more aid to Africa, George W. Bush saw himself as the savor of Africa and all the eight posed for a series of photos with or without the general secretary of the UN.

And what happened with the Live8? I was thrilled to see the original Pink Floyd on stage with Roger Waters and David Gilmour back together. But I’m sure they were more thrilled themselves to find out that the sales of their albums and loyalties increased dramatically. Even the experimental Umaguma started selling again.

UB40 after disappearing for over two decades they started thinking for a new album and the last alive of the rock dinosaurs The Who are thinking for a world tour. Names like Mat Coopora, Juli and Shasha suddenly found out that they can still make a career in singing.

Bob Geldof, I’m not sure but he’s back with a new BBC series for Ethiopia . The man always been a mystery for me, for his entire career he produced seven to eight records and only one hit back in early 80s. 25 years after he still lives the life and the money of a rock star with luxurious castles and a collection of cars including a Rolls Royse.

All the media around the world connected with the eight concerts and I watched partly of it on MTV. I was fascinated with the number of adverts that gone through the concert in London , especially before and after the Pink Floyd appearance. Does that mean loyalties? And who took them?

To be a bit more cynic why all this happened? To persuade the people to press the eight governments those control the world’s wealth to help Africa . What we miss to see is that this world’s wealth is not president’s George W. Bush personal money, or Tony Blair’s heritage, but taxpayer’s money. Somehow my money.

So all these people partied with my money and decided to help Africa with my money without even asking me. If they had asked me I would definitely tell them that I much rather help Africa than buy new weapons or research for new biological weapons. However nobody did bother to ask me.

The same time Bob Geldof and the rest of the gang including George and Tony are cuddling in their ranges or castles enjoying their philanthropist actions while drinking their cold champagne.
