I said Green Day music sucks which is my opinion. Their old music is better still my opinion. then I said "In my opinion after listening to thier music from their new album they now SUCK!!!" which I use in the word above opinon that is still my opinion. Oh yeah and the live 8 thing I was right. So what are you bitchin about.

I never said you were wrong about the Live 8 thing.
But anyway, the way you presented your opinion was what made you come off as an idiot. You can keep arguing all you want, but it's not going to change anything. I'm sure everyone on this board will agree with me that you presented your opinion in a very immature way.

Well, according to an email Melissa got, ours is now:
Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Destiny's Child, Linkin Park, Rob Thomas, Sarah McLahlan, Jay-Z, Maroon 5, Will Smith, P. Diddy & more
Destiny's Child (blah) and Linkin Park, now. I keep hoping for someone to be added that'll really get me excited. Not that I'm complaining about the current lineup at all.

*can't wait*

Seeing Jet again a week after the last time we saw them would be cool.

50 Cent Drops Off Live 8 Bill; Organizers Expand Scope Of Shows
06.16.2005 9:06 AM EDT
There will be no live rendition of "Candy Shop" during the Philadelphia edition of Bob Geldof's Live 8, a follow-up to 1985's Live Aid concert, which raised millions for famine relief efforts in Africa. The thousands expected to flock to the City of
Brotherly Love and congregate at the foot of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in little more than two weeks time won't even be hearing "Just a Lil' Bit." That's because 50 Cent has removed his name from the concert's bill, just as more artists have been added.
A publicist for 50 Cent told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a scheduling conflict linked to the filming of the rapper's forthcoming film, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," which is shooting in Toronto, has forced the New York native to pull out of the show.
Will Smith, Bon Jovi, Jay-Z, Kaiser Chiefs, Maroon 5, P. Diddy, Rob Thomas, Sarah McLachlan, and Dave Matthews Band are among the artists set to perform at the Philadelphia concert. A publicist for Live 8 told the AP that additional lineup announcements were planned for Thursday (June 16).
Geldof has organized five simultaneous Live 8 concerts for July 2, as a means to raise awareness about African debt relief (see "50 Cent, Jay-Z, Mariah, U2, Coldplay On Board For Massive Live Aid Sequel "); the events precede the two-day G8 summit, which is set to begin on July 6 in Gleneagles, Scotland.
While the G-Unit general is off the Live 8 bill, several artists have just been added. Organizers announced Wednesday that African musicians would stage a concert to coincide with the other Live 8 events, which had been criticized by Blur frontman Damon Albarn as being "too damn Anglo-Saxon" (see "Pink Floyd Get Roger Waters For Live 8; Green Day In For Berlin Show").
According to Reuters, Peter Gabriel is spearheading the show, dubbed Africa Calling. The concert will be held in Southwest England, at the Eden Project in Cornwall. Senegalese star Youssou N'Dour, West African singer/songwriter Angelique Kidjo, Somalia-born vocalist Maryam Mursal and Salif Keita, called the "golden voice of Africa," are all scheduled to perform.
And a seventh Live 8 show has been organized for July 6, in Edinburgh, Scotland; the concert will feature Annie Lennox, Snow Patrol, Dido and the Proclaimers. Live 8's organizers announced Thursday that they'd be expanding the scope of the series to include gigs in Tokyo, Toronto and Johannesburg, South Africa, according to Reuters. An official announcement — with lineups — is expected Friday.
so it seems there is going to be a canada show. and thank god 50 cent backed out.

how do you get tickets for this? i mean, not the philadelphia one, when they announce the toronto one?
Posted: 6/16/2005, 11:42 pm
by nikki4982
Well, all of them (minus London) are completely free and you just show up. At least that's my understanding. I know that's how the Philly one works, anyway.
London's doing (done?) a phone ticket raffle (still free, but you have to call to get a ticket).
I'm sure there'll be information on how to get into the Toronto one after it's announced.

Ugh. Of course they were.
You know, scalping tickets to a regular concert is bad enough. This is just... why are people in this world so freaking selfish!!?!?!
