They'll remember a lot because tomorrow they will be poor!

I really think Geldof is doing a great gesture in raising money. Hopefully, they will get it channeled into the right hands for distribution and not depending on the governments of these countries to distribute the money. Bono seems savy enough to know the political games.

I tried to watch some the concert yesterday, but, every time I turned it on, it was like watching the Jerry Lewis telethon at 3AM.
