Free "Live 8" Concerts...Coming In July
Recently, Rock Musician Bob Geldof announced plans for free concerts in five separate locations around the world on July 2 (London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and Philadelphia) to make a powerful statement to the leaders of industrialized nations to end world poverty. The G8 world leaders meet in Scotland on July 8 to discuss world problems. These "Live 8" concerts are scheduled "to tilt the world a little bit on its axis in favor of the poor"(Geldof said). Everyone involved and everyone who shows up will be helping to "Make Poverty History".
On stage at one place or another will be Paul McCartney, U2, Bon Jovi, Stevie Wonder and MANY MORE.
