Live 8 - Which one is Pink? Updated w/Spoilers

[Nathan]

I caught a few fragments of this.

You know hell has frozen over when Maroon 5 does Neil Young's "Rocking in the Free World". To my surprise, it wasn't completely unlistenable, but the very notion is blasphemous.

[Ben]

Aye.

Had they tried to touch "Cowgirl in the Sand" or "Cortez the Killer" my head would have exploded.

Why couldn't they cover something off of Landing on Water?

Been checking out the Floyd sites for the last week and it looks like our hopes of an official Floyd reunion wont be happening   Gilmour has no interest going back on the road at his age.  Mason and Wright expressed interest but Gilmour holds the final key. Waters will be back out touring next year.  Unfortuneately Waters Live show does not even come close to the PF experience.  I am not that impressed with his band at all. Even if they toured without Gimour it would be a major disappointment.  Maybe someone will offer a ton of money for charity for a new tour, but it does not sound promising.

Just a quick reply on seeing some news last night.  PF was offered 175 million for just a U.S. Tour.   They did not mention for how many shows it would of been.  Either way Gilmour said not interested

Good news in the form of an email I got today:

Dear Friend:


This is a big thank you to all 1.5 million of you who joined together as ONE to do something extraordinary.

From the 500,000 letters you sent to President Bush to Live 8 in Philadelphia to the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, you called on eight men to do more to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty, and they heard your call. In Scotland this past Friday, overcoming the shadow of a tragic day in London, President Bush joined G8 leaders in an unprecedented deal to cancel debts and double aid to Africa.

For African nations fighting poverty and corruption, this means a $25 billion increase in aid and wiping out 100% of their debts. With this funding, Africa can halve deaths from malaria, put millions of children into school, and 10 million people across the world will have access to lifesaving AIDS drugs. Behind each of these numbers is one person, one life that will be changed forever.

For the first time ever, everyday Americans like you joined together to take a seat at the negotiating table, asking the world's most powerful leaders to do more to help the world's poorest people. Because you signed the ONE Declaration, wore the white band and forwarded emails to friends about ONE, you made a huge step toward making poverty history.  We've come so far and still have far to go. 

Keep the momentum going, email 3 friends about ONE today.

This agreement is a real victory for Africa - but promises made of words will only become promises for a generation if we keep watching, asking and acting. Much more needs to be done in Washington DC to turn these commitments into lifesaving programs, and the world must take new steps to make trade fair. More meetings will take place this year in New York and Hong Kong where a comprehensive debt-aid-trade deal can be reached and end global AIDS and extreme poverty in our time.   

We can be that great generation. As ONE, let's keep up the positive pressure and make 2005 the year we joined together to make history.

Thank you,

The ONE Team

They've got to do a US tour. They have to. It's only right.
