Remember the Live 8 concerts of 2 years ago? Remember the leaders of 8 countries promised to cut the debt of countries in Africa and other such promises designed to get them out of poverty?
Did they keep their promises? Has it done any good?

Initially, it worked, in that people made governments listen and understand that the situation in places like Africa was dire. But, like many things, it regrettably faded away. Out of sight, out mind.

Well, it was a groovy concert anyway!
I think it did some good as the issues regarding the debt that 3rd world countries still had to pay off was splashed al over the world media for a while afterwards.

I agree with Leaf Fan. The purposes were to raise public awareness of disease and starvation in Africa, and for gov'ts to forgive the debt of these African nations. In the short term, it worked. But, as Leaf said, "Out of sight, out [of] mind."

Not really but as it only cost 500 million squid, it was a good bash for the politicians - oh and those two odd Irish so-called musicians.
