A true aid...
The world leaders had its annual G8 sumit to look at how to fix the woes in africa. Then music claimed they would help with their Live8 concerts.
But how much can this really help?

Didn't Live 8 actually do, um, nothing?

It shows where people's priorities are...the brothers in Europe did it out of love for one another...while the world does it to cause a showy display...

Am I the only one who thought the line up for the Live8 shows were like, hilariously Anglo-Saxon? Yes? Oh ok.

Not a Very Good Dancer
(By Jon Houser)
Man C sits alone at a table during a wedding. He drinks somethings from a small glass, probably alcoholic (the somethings, not the glass). His body language indicates a certain awkwardness in his surroundings, (hunched over the table, shoulders bent forward, arms bent in front of him, ankles crossed and legs kept almost under the chair, head down directed at the glass, though eyes exploring elsewheresabout. Himself closed). Woman A approaches. What ensues but a conversation? There was a duck at the wedding.
Woman A: Hi. Are you here all by yourself?
Man C: Hm? Oh, uh…yeah, I guess I am.
Woman A: Well you look bored here all by yourself. How about taking a girl to dance?
Man C: Oh, well a girl wouldn’t want to dance with me. I don’t really know how.
Woman A: Nonsense it’s easy! C’mon, it’ll be fun.
Man C: Really, I’m no good at dancing, I promise.
Duck D: Quack.
Woman A: Come on, get up, let’s go over to the dance floor, it’s crowded, nobody will even notice if you step on me.
Man C: Reluctant pout. ( that is not indicative of a sound he made, that is a quote)
The following is a transcript of the dance conversation followed by a brief conclusion of actions.
Woman A: I love this song, it’s a great slow song, don’t you think?
Man C: Well, I kind of do like this song, but I don’t know how to dance.
Woman A: It’s ok, here, just put your hand here on my waist like this, no a little bit higher there Casanova, there like that, now give me your other hand, ok now just shuffle, we’ll just do it like that, just shuffle your feet a little.
Man C: Really, I’m not a good dancer.
Woman A: You can’t even move your feet a little? C’mon, just follow my lead.
Man C: I’ll try…
Woman A: Just try not to step on my feet! Laugh.
(Conclusion of Actions)
At which point Man C trips her with his legs, pushes her down, takes her purse and spits on her.
Man C: I’m sorry! I’m not a very good dancer.
Sorry…but repentant?
