I watched Live Aid. I was depressed by the mulletheaded music, that puzzling logo of a fretboard protruding from the African continent, and resented being browbeaten by multimillionaires to empty balenciaga handbags my pockets.

And then there was the euphoria of the crowd, which reached a worrying zenith when they clapped along to Queen's Radio GaGa.

What were they feeling so victorious about? Did celine outlet store they actually think that Africa had been saved by David Bowie's gracious decision to appear onstage alongside Status Quo?

They appeared to celine bag online labour under the sort of collective, intoxicating delusion that overcomes any mass of people when they gather together and feeling triumphs over thinking.

'No sea change'

Live Aid had the best motives. But to pretend this emotional, ad hoc response to the complex and chronic problem of famine in Africa made a positive difference was naive, rooted in a fictional idea that rock changes the world.

It cannot and it did not in 1985.

Money from Live Aid saved lives but, as aid expert David Rieff recently argued, it may also have led to the loss of just as many lives.

There was no sea change in attitudes. That wave of compassion did not stop millions voting for right wingers like Thatcher, Bush and Kohl in subsequent elections.

Today, Africa is, balenciaga outlet if anything, worse off.

Now we are about to go through it all again. This time the emphasis is on debt cancellation balenciaga bag rather than aid, but still I am sceptical.

I simply do not think it is right that expop star Bob Geldof should be the human catalyst for one of the biggest problems facing mankind it is beyond the wisdom of Solomon, let alone Geldof. He is not up to the job.

He celine handbags online is making the same mistake in 2005 as he did in 1985 regarding black acts, surprising for someone so passionate about feeding Africans.

His argument that the dominance of white faces among the Live 8 lineup reflects the need for big names ignores the importance of symbolism in mass spectacles like this.

They should be interrogated, not cosied up to. Geldof's unpunkishly conciliatory stance to these people creates the illusion that, as with the tsunami, "no one is to blame".

Ultimately, however, I will not be watching Live 8 because the bill is pretty dire.

Apart from the reams of hasbeens and rock icons turned cabaret acts, there are the presentday brigade such as Coldplay and Dido, whose hugely popular yet unthreatening music signifies rock's decline into corporate functionalism.
