Live 8 becomes Lame 8

So now that it's been announced that Live 8 is coming to Canada, I have a question. How in the hell did we get the worst lineup for this thing. Celine Dion? Motley Crue? Tom Cochrane? Is anyone under 40 going to go to this? If you want to show off Canadian talent, find someone who's at least interesting, like, say Broken Social Scene or The Arcade Fire. Heck, even Sum 41 would have been an improvement. If you want to get the 1980s mullet crowd out, forget Motley Crue, do something awesome. Like reunite the original GNR lineup for one show. OK that will never happen in a million years, but you know what I mean, make it worthwhile. This show smells a lot like an afterthought and it's a shame because the cause is worthwhile.
