Half a Piece of Chewing Gum
So, Live Eight was formally announced today after a few weeks of rumours.
It’s interesting to see how the papers are reporting it. From the speculation around the Spice Girls :
“The Spice Girls offered their services but they don’t fit the bill,” a BBC source told the Daily Mirror. “With all respect to them, Live Aid II isn’t Party In The Park.”
To Bob Geldof’s calls for the Pope to join in :

Geldof told reporters in London that he had asked for the support of Pope Benedict XVI.
“I think he should turn up. It would be his first gig,” he said.
Whatever happens the fact is this. To double our expenditure on the people these concerts would cost you and me the price of half a piece of chewing gum.
Good luck Bob.
