"Yes, I respect people who might like Gabriel's music.
It's just I find leaving out so much Queen stuff out of the MTV edition very disrespectful."
In Italy they showed 4 Queen tracks and just one of Gabriel. Anyway the show was heavily butchered, a pity

Oprah's attitude pisses me off.
On a previous interview with Bono, she made it seem like white people didn't care about the AIDS situation in Africa. It seems like she thinks that all whites dislike blacks in some way or another.
It also pisses me off that Dave Stewart is not getting any credit. He has worked harder than the rest to make this a reality.

I think that edited one was the one we got. An hour and a half of mostly guff in my opinion.
No Cat Stevens, no Bob Geldof (who were both there). Beyonce went on for far too long and I'd have thought that Anastasia, in the presence of the man that wrote WWRY would have troubled to learn the right words.
Gah.

Bob Geldof (who were both there).
i saw him on the MTV2 special and he only talked but he was with guitar so he may have done a song before or it was afterwards i dunno...didnt see Cat Stevens..not nearly enough of the Queen Set...nor Not Enough Corrs;) heh

Well if you consider the rascist views of fellow board member (wonderboy RonB) who thinks the high number of aids-victims in Africa are the result of the laziness of Africans, i think oprah might have a point there. Also, i read a dutch article stating that in Holland people arent interested in AIDS anymore since the disease is more or less under control. Also how much did you guys heard about the concert anyway? Everybody is complaining about the lack of coverage in the media, but isnt that just a proove of the attitude of the western society regarding the AIDS situation in Africa? Thats what i think anyway.

It's not a racial issue. AIDS is also a problem in most 3rd world countries and rich countries still don't care.
They only reason why they don't want to help is because rich countries want something in return for helping.

Where did you get that crap? They dont want to help cause they dont care. The truth is people dont give a shit as long as they are not personnaly involved. What do western people want in return anyway? You dont go to dying children and say:' Hey, we wanna help you, but.....we want something in return". Maybe we want african children to work in plants to cheaply produce the cacao used in our mars-bars. Oh no they already do that. Think about that when you eat your mars bar next time. Africa gave enough and its time western countries realize that its time we give something back.

Joep does have a point.
If you want to help, it has to be from the heart, and good intentions. Not because they want something back.
Erin I know. I saw the last 20 mins. Very weird indeed.

Joep, you still don't understand don't you.
I'm not talking about people as individuals, but about governments, corporations, and all the people who have the power to really make a difference.
