Live Aid, the great transcontinental concert for famine relief, was a tough act to follow. But that's not stopping Bob Geldof from launching a similar endeavor 20 years later.
Five "Live 8" concerts will take place on July 2nd, in London and Philadelphia (sites of the original Live Aid concert) and in Paris, Berlin, and Rome. [Read story.]
And the good stuff doesn't end there....
Two days later, on July 4th, Elton John (who will be performing in Europe for Live 8) will perform here in Philly along with Patti LaBelle to raise money for AIDS.
What a great time to live here in Philly.
Nothing impresses me more than rock stars and other celebrities who use their fame and fortune to help the less fortunate.
