That's tougher than another spasm of feel-good agitprop aimed at that brave band of guilt-ridden Western liberals who got such a frisson out of wasting their money on the tsunami appeal they're itching to waste a ton more. (One quarter of all the tsunami aid sent to Sri Lanka has been sitting on the dock at Colombo since January, unclaimed and/or unprocessed. Maybe Sir Bob could do "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" for his next charity single.)

LOL!

...Western pop stars are so deeply concerned about Africa that they're willing to climb into wacky gear and caterwaul geriatric rock hits in a stadium for a couple of hours every decade. But would they be prepared to outsource the book-keeping for their music publishing to a guy in Ouagadougou or Niamey?

I get letters all the time from Nigerian companies eager to handle my financial transactions.

Just send my account number and they'll get right on it, they say.

It's hard to say that Africa has, in general, shown much progress since the end of colonialism, or white rule in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Certainly not in Zimbabwe. In many countries, it's still a tribal thing and not a nation thing. Look at what happened in Rwanda.

Africa has the potential to be one of the richest continents, but they continue lag far behind the rest of the world.

They're not trying.

If we are going to change the West's perception of Africa, events like this are the perfect opportunity to do something for Africa's self-esteem," said Kershaw. "But the choice of artists for the Live8 concerts will simply reinforce the global perception of Africa's inferiority."

I have never read anything so condescending and demeaning in my entire life. It makes me embarressed to be a white person.
